At Friday prayers, a message was read regarding the recent firing incident: Whenever incidents such as this happen, it is due to misinformation and lack of knowledge about Islam. We need to spread the message that Islam means Peace, Compassion, Mercy, Love and Tolerance. We need to ask God's mercy and guidance for us and others and spend more time in Masjids in Prayers. The Masjid is receiving a large number of emails and calls from the Local Community, News people, Church leaders etc expressing solidarity with the Masjid at this time.
