Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
We join the community in mourning the murdered victims, including security guard Amin Abdullah, whose life was brutally taken as he defended the house of worship and the young children at the school inside.
May their memories be a blessing.
We are also deeply disturbed by the anti-Muslim rhetoric and Nazi imagery found in the suspect’s car.
And, as in so many times in the past, it is a reminder that our destinies are tied together: those who target Muslims often hate Jews and vice versa. Coalitions are not just an ideal; they are a necessity for all our safety.
Hateful ideologies have deadly ends. We must work together to stamp them out, lest they fester and metastasize into devastating attacks like this.
