[ga] Condemn Cowardly Attack (Attached)
Dear All distigushed members
On behalf of the Executive Council of AINC
( Arabic Internet Names Consortium) we issued the attached
statement.
AINC
strongly and unanimously condemns and denounces the vicious inhuman attacks
perpetrated against innocent civilians in the U.S. this week. These attacks and
the ideologies behind them are absolutely diametrically opposed to the teachings
of all
religions and to our cultural values.
Taking
human life gratuitously is an extremely grave sin as you see in the Qur'anic
verse which reads: "Whosoever
kills a human being for other than manslaughter or corruption on the land shall
be as if he has killed all mankind, and whosoever saves
the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all
mankind,"
(Al-Ma'idah:32). Our
response to the hatred emails that we received earlier today is that we
understand and share the sender’s pain and indignation; and we are equally
appalled at what transpired this past Tuesday. However, we should not give in to
ignorant stereotyping and racial and cultural bigotry. Islam, the religion of tolerance, whose
very name derives from the word "peace", holds the human soul in high esteem,
and considers the attack against innocent human beings a grave sin, You can find
a multitude of verses in the Holy Qur'an that are to this effect. May
God bless the souls of all our dead and grant all of the families with peace and
patience and the strength to overcome sorrow. Our hearts and prayers to the
families and we ask God to grant the World with Peace and
Prosperity. Sincerely, Asaad Y Alnajjar, Executive Director AINC http://www.ArabicDomainName.org CEO Millennium Inc. / Los Angeles-USA |
