Condolences from the Muslims of Utah to the Victims at Fort Hood

Muslims of America condemn and denounce violence and perpetrators of all types of attacks upon the innocent, regardless of nationality, gender, class, etc. We view such brutality and cruelty against the spirit of all religions. Muslims view such savage behavior as appalling and against the moral conscience of humanity. Like all religions sent down by Allah the Greatest, Islam too promotes peace, harmony amongst our neighbors and bordering countries, upholds the essence of morality and common good of every type that functions to inspire positivity for all of humanity on every level.

Thus, such senseless carnage, massacre and bloodshed demonstrates enormous human lapse, to say the least. Such behaviors should be denounced by all.

As Muslims, and as humans, we should pray for all, including the innocent victims of the Fort Hood attacks. We pray to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’aala) that a complete investigation upholding the principles of justice in dealing with the perpetrator of such an evil crime be done in an egalitarian manner. We also pray that more innocent people are not victimized as a result of such a heinous crime. Ameen.

Allah certainly knows best.
