OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM ARAB CULTURAL CENTER
Condemnation of the Tragic Killing of Imam Hassan Sharif in New Jersey
Arab Cultural Center express deepest sorrow and strong condemnation regarding the recent and tragic killing of imam Hassan Sharif in New Jersey. The loss of a community leader and spiritual guide is not only devastating for the Muslim community but is also an affront to the values of peace, unity, and religious tolerance that we hold dear.
This reprehensible act of violence not only robs us of an individual dedicated to fostering understanding and compassion but also shakes the foundations of our shared commitment to coexistence. Our communities must stand united against such heinous acts and work together to build a society where diversity is celebrated, and every individual is afforded the right to practice their faith without fear.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to the family, friends, and the Muslim community members affected by this tragedy. In this challenging time, it is crucial for all of us to come together, support one another, and collectively reject the forces that seek to divide our communities.
Sincerely,
Arab Cultural Center
