OFFICIAL STATEMENT: We at the Islamic Society of Lake Charles along
with the Muslim Community at large are saddened and angered by the
senseless loss of our Christian brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka during their
holiest day of the year. We condemn this act of violence without reservation.
Senseless murder has no justification and attacking houses of worship and
worshipers on their holiest day of the year is the core of evil.
Now more than ever is the time for us to stand together unified against these
acts of terror. We pledge to work diligently toward promoting mutual
understanding and a safe and secure society for all.
We offer our sincere condolences to the families, loved ones, and all that are
affected. We will hold them all in our prayers.
