IIC Remembers 9/11 Attacks and Reaffirms Opposition to Terrorism

September 11, 2007 On the sixth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, the Islamic Information Center (IIC) would like to pass on its condolences to the victims and their families of this great tragedy. Words cannot express IIC's empathy for all those who have been affected, throughout the years, by this horrendous act of terrorism. Even today, the world feels the effects of terrorism. The people of Iraq suffer from terrorism, as countless Muslims are hurt or killed indiscriminately daily, by people who are supposedly acting in the name of religion. Many Americans also receive heartbreaking news from their loved ones falling victim to terrorism overseas on a regular basis. IIC stands together to condemn all acts of terrorism as deplorable crimes against humanity, as they are completely reprehensible, and there is no legitimate reason for them to occur. Islam is a religion that advocates peace and tranquility amongst all peoples, and for any innocent individual to be harmed, is completely against the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). The Islamic Information Center, under the guidance of Imam Syed Naqvi, works to bring understanding among people of all faiths and background in an attempt to build bridges for the future to prevent hate crimes through education and tolerance. IIC also works to correct any misinformation about matters relating to the holy religion of Islam.
