As I haven't linked to it yet - 'I am a Muslim American, angry at Israel' - one dead and five injured in a shooting at the downtown Seattle office of the Jewish Federation.

I want to thank the leaders of the local Muslim community.  I turst that no one will be stupid enough to perpetrate a revenge attack.  May Peace be Upon their community.  Shabbat Shalom.

Hell No...Not Here, Not Ever, Not In My Name - Dr. Hesham A. Hassaballa

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful


I categorically condemn, with every cell in my body, the attack on the Jewish Federation Building in Seattle.

STATEMENT BY SEATTLE MUSLIM COMMUNITY

The Muslim community of Greater Seattle area watched in horror as news broke of a shooting at the Jewish Federation building. While many of the details of this shooting remain to be determined, what is clear is that a senseless and ruthless act of violence has taken place and resulted in the loss of at least one life.

We categorically condemn this and any similar acts of violence. We pray for the safety and health of those injured and offer our heartfelt condolences to the family of the victims of this attack. We also hope that the perpetrator of this crime is brought to justice.


There is no room for such acts of violence in our city and community. When one of us is attacked, none of us are safe. We refuse to see the violence in the Middle East spill over to our cities and neighborhoods.

We reject and categorically condemn any attacks against the Jewish community and stand in solidarity with the Jewish Federation in this tragedy.
