The Muslims of America, Inc, sent their heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of the horrific event at the Boston Marathon.
“We unequivocally condemn this cowardly attack on innocent men, women and children and join with those voices who hope that all perpetrators bear the full weight of justice.”
The organisation said as upstanding American Muslim citizens, “many of whom are veterans who have fought to preserve the honor of our great nation, we remain committed to working tirelessly in defending our country from attacks, whether internal or external, that threaten the peaceful fabric of our society”.
