The Muslim community in Colorado expresses our profound sadness and condemnation regarding the recent act of violence at the Pearl Street Mall. Our hearts go out to all those injured and affected by this deplorable cowardly attack, and we wish them all a swift and full recovery.
We reject the attack and his claim of advocating for Palestinians. We preserve and protect the fundamental right to peaceful protest, a cornerstone of our democracy. Hate and violence can never be tolerated. The actions of individuals who resort to violence not only undermine the legitimate exercise of free speech but also inflict harm on innocent lives and sow division within our communities.
The Muslim community in Colorado is committed to working alongside all faith groups and community leaders to foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding. When facing tragedy, it is more important than ever that we stand united against hate and work collectively to build a more peaceful and harmonious society.
