The Majlis Ash-Shura: Islamic Leadership Council of New York strongly condemns the vile and Islamophobic incident that occurred outside Masjid Nur Al-Islam. This assault, driven by prejudice and hatred, aimed at harmless congregants immersed in prayer and spiritual meditation. These actions represent not only an assault on Masjid Nur Al-Islam but also on the principles of inclusion, respect, and freedom that New York City embodies
We urge local authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation into this attack and guarantee that those accountable are brought to justice. It is essential that we, as a community and as a nation, communicate a strong message that hate and Islamophobia are unacceptable.
We encourage every community member, faith leader, and New Yorker from every background to unite in support of Masjid Nur Al-Islam and everyone impacted by this hateful event. Collectively, we need to cultivate a setting of tranquility, comprehension, and shared respect, where no such acts of violence and discrimination are permitted to separate us
