April 8, 2009 The Islamic Information Center is saddened by reports of suicide bombings against mosques in Pakistan, and condemns all perpetrators of this heinous violence.

February 20, 2009 The Islamic Information Center condemns the killing of Aasiya Hassan last week. Ms. Hassan was killed by her husband, Muzzammil Hassan, the founder of a television network in New York called Bridges TV. Bridges TV was established to counter Muslim stereotypes, and this tragedy severely contradicts both the message of the network and the mission of Islam. Islam is a peace-loving religion that explicitly forbids the harming or destruction of innocent life. |

February 20, 2009 IIC condemns the seizure of Palestinian West Bank land by Israel this week, in violation of international law. Hardliner Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu is a proponent of land seizure and does not believe in peace talks with the Palestinians. IIC believes that this sort of behavior is not conducive to a lasting peaceful solution, and instead believes Israel should strongly focus on peaceful existence with its neighbors, instead of violent agitation of the situation. |
