Condemning the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida

We unequivocally condemn the terrorist attack in Orlando, Florida, that killed at least 50 of our fellow Americans and injured many more. This cold-blooded killing by a radicalized Muslim has shocked and stunned us beyond words, particularly in the month of Ramadan when we are expected to be especially kind and compassionate. We call upon Muslim Americans to be in the forefront in helping law enforcement officials identify and neutralize such fanatics and killers before they can carry out their deadly attacks.

We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed or injured in Orlando, Florida. They are in our prayers.
