AMWA CONDEMNS TERROR PLOT AGAINST RIVERDALE SYNAGOGUE
The American Muslim Women Association (AMWA) denounces the attempted act of terrorism against the Riverdale Synagogue. We believe that violence has no place in our community and is no way a part of the tenets of Islam. Unfortunately, incidents of this kind hamper our efforts to create harmonious relationships with other religious organizations within our community. In recent years, we as an organization have had to condemn far too many acts of violence committed name of Islam. We would like to stress that the people who commit these acts are misguided and confused and ignorant or unaware of Islam’s ideology of peace and tolerance. Finally we would like to thank the efforts of the New York Police Department and the F.B.I in helping keep our community and our country safe.
