(San Francisco Bay Area, 7/07/05) – Joining Muslims around the country and the world, the San Francisco Bay Area based Islamic Networks Group condemns the terrorist attacks in London today. As Muslims, we utterly deplore these heinous and horrific acts that contradict all laws of Islam and civilization. To those who would commit such acts in the name of Islam, we say, that they are distorting and defaming a religion whose very name comes from the word “peace”, and which holds the highest regard for human life. As the Qur’an states: “Whoever takes an innocent life, it is as if he has killed all of humanity.” The Prophet of Islam condemned the targeting of civilians, and even infrastructure; there is no precedent in Islamic law or history for such a barbaric act.

The entire experience of planning a series of seminars with ING was inspirational. They did an amazing job. The ING team welcomed input along the way which allowed each session to be even better than the one before it. We will continue to work with ING as I am confident that they will continue to provide value in our work.

I thought the ING seminar, “Preventing and Responding to Anti-Muslim Bigotry,” was an extremely valuable training for law enforcement, especially in today’s day and age with all the misunderstandings and misperceptions of the Muslim community…I feel this training will help my staff and I in developing better relationships and in responding to the needs of our community. I highly recommend this training to others.
