The Islamic Information Center is alarmed by recent reports that the Federal Government has begun the process of seizing mosques in the United States. Reports from this evening indicate that government agencies have begun the process of seizing mosques in New York, California, Texas, and Maryland.  At this time the mosques will remain open; however, IIC is concerned about the fate of these religious centers.

The Islamic Information Center will observe and monitor this issue to ensure that there is no breach of civil rights by the government.  In its first amendment, the United States Constitution declares: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Last week, the Islamic Information Center was one of the first organizations to report on the federal government's announcement  regarding the seizure of 4 religious mosques in the United States. To see the original Information Alert, please click here. Last night, the Islamic Information Center sponsored a Know Your Rights Conference Call. IIC invited the leaders of the four targeted masjids, as well as the respected leaders and scholars of other masjids, to participate in a discussion with community lawyers and other attorneys from Muslim Advocates (MA), on the legal rights of the masjids and what they can do to protect themselves from a legal perspective. Meeting notes from the conference call are available on IIC's blog .

The Islamic Information Center, in conjunction with all the major Muslim organizations nationwide, strongly condemns the attack on U.S. Military Base Fort Hood in Texas that took place today. American Muslims stand with their fellow citizens in offering prayers for the victims, and sincere condolences to the families of those killed or injured.

While several news reports have cited one of the gunmen to be Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, IIC strongly emphasizes that this attack and its perpetrator are in no way representative of the Muslim people or the peace-loving religion of Islam.

Eleven people plus a gunman were dead and 31 wounded after the gunman opened fire Thursday on a soldier-processing center at Fort Hood, Texas, officials said. The gunman was a soldier, and two other soldiers have been detained as suspects, Army Lt. Gen. Bob Cone said.
