Muhammad Ali on the bombings
The following text was issued by
Muhammad Ali:"I am a Muslim. I am an American. As an American Muslim,
I want to express my deep sadness and anguish at the tremendous loss of
life that occurred on 11 September:
Islam is a religion of peace. Islam does not promote terrorism or the
killing of people.
I cannot sit by and let the world think that Islam is a killing religion.
It hurts me to see what radical people are doing in the name of Islam.
These radicals are doing things that God is against. Muslims do not
believe in violence.
If the culprits are Muslims, they have twisted the teachings of Islam.
Whoever performed, or is behind, the terrorist attacks in the United
States of America does not represent Islam. God is not behind assassins.
Anyone involved in this must pay for their evil. Hatred caused this
tragedy and adding to the hatred that already exists in the world will not
help. Instead, we should try to understand each other better.
Americans are warm, loving and hospitable people, and we share many of the
same values. I ask that churches and synagogues all across the nation
invite representatives of the Islamic faith into their places of worship,
to better understand Islam. This could help us all respect each other
more.
I pray that God blesses the people and families of those who were killed,
and our great country." q |
