The Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati strongly condemns the attack on the Holocaust Museum that occurred in Washington, D.C., on June 11. We stand solidly with the intended victims of this heinous crime.

It is indeed most regrettable that there are, even today, hateful, bigoted individuals in this country who resort to killing innocent people in pursuit of their deranged ideologies. Racism, religious or ethnic intolerance, bigotry and violence cannot be accepted in any civilized society and deserves our redoubled commitment to fight it in every way possible.

Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to the family of Stephen T. Johns, the brave security guard who laid down his life in protecting others.

Dr. Inayat Malik

President

Islamic Educational Council

"Christian kills someone in the name of God... he is either justified or just crazy."

Have you read to news lately? Every time so idiot shoots an abortion doctor, ALL Pro-lifers (and most Christians) are unfairly villified--just turn on CNN for the proof. The ultimate point it this: painting any group with a broad brush is unfair.

What planet do you live on?

Radical kills someone in the name of Allah... Muslims are bad.

Cult kills someone in the name of Satan... Satanists are bad.

Christian kills someone in the name of God... he is either justified or just crazy.

If you don't understand why this is screwed up, your voluntary brainwashing will probably never allow you.

Why should Dr. Malik have to apologize after every incident involving a Muslim extremist? He's not responsible for them; he didn't even have to say anything about the Holocaust Museum incident. He's only trying to drive home the point that most Muslims don't adhere to this perversion of Islam, hoping to curb any broad, sweeping generalizations about Muslims that some folks enjoy painting.
