The Islamic Center of Williamson County (ICWC) strongly condemns the terror attack in the two New Zealand mosques, on March 15, 2019. This horrific act of targeted violence claimed the lives of forty-nine people and injured forty-nine. We convey our deepest sympathy, and condolences to their families and loved ones. We strongly condemn any act of violence on any group of civilians and all forms of targeted violence. We stand by the families of the fallen and injured individuals. We stand in solidarity with the families and join in mourning the loss of innocent lives. We reaffirm our commitment to work with and support law enforcement at all levels. We completely reject any hateful ideology that would motivate violence between neighbors or wreak such havoc on the lives of the innocent. May God bless America, and may we work together – as one nation – to properly address the surge of violence that harms us all.
