IECOC Statement
On behalf of the Islamic Educational Center of Orange
County, we extend our condolences to the innocent victims of Virginia Tech for
the tragic and most painful massacre which took place
The hearts and prayers of American Muslims are with the
students, faculty, and families who have been devastated by the senseless
killings.
Islam holds the life of a human to be sacred, and abhors and
condemns acts of terror. According to the Holy Quran, the murder of one
innocent life would be as if the entire humanity was slain (Quran:
We express our deepest regret and sorrow for the young lives
that were struck-down in their prime years. We ask God to grant us all patience
and peace as we endure the pain of loss.
