I again want to offer my deepest condolences to the Jewish community and remind you that you are not alone in this difficult time, and you\u2019re standing with many Islamic brothers and sisters on your side, supporting you.

You were all affected by this attack. I know it must be frightful for some to openly practice your religion, but those of you who are I have the utmost respect for. You are all brave and strong and I will keep all Jews affected in my heart and prayers. AL \u00a0\u00a0 17 11\/42018\u00a0Dear Jewish Community,\u00a0My name is SL<\/strong>al I am a Muslim from Shirley Gate Masjid. I can only imagine the pain felt by the hatred expressed by the shooter who decided to take the lives of eleven dedicated worshipping Jews, whos lives were ended shortly. I would like to offer my condolences to all eleven families and surrounding communities that have been affected. Hopefully the Shiva has helped all mourn and appreciate the life the lived and console their loved ones.\u00a0Sincerely,<\/p>\n By: H L, 2018 Dear Jewish community, T<\/strong>hroughout history, people of all races & religions have been discriminated against. I am writing this letter to offer my condolences about the tragedies that have been happening to the Jewish communities over hundreds of years. First, I\u2019d like to introduce myself. My name is h, and I attend the Islamic Center of Northern Virginia (ICNVT) on Shirley Gate Road. I am 13 years old.\u00a0I\u2019d like to offer my condolences to the entire Jewish community because I feel so bad about the shooting that occured last week. Some people just have something wrong in their head, which is most likely what was wrong with the shooter. I hope that one day, even though it is very unlikely, these great tragedies will stop happening.\u00a0Sincerely,<\/p>\n D Age 17\u00a02018 \u00a0Dear Jewish Community,\u00a0<\/strong>Hello my name is D and I am from the Islamic Center in the Shirley Gate Mosque and I would like to express my condolences to the tragic shooting that has occurred in the Jewish synagogue in Pittsburgh. I hope US, as a community, can reunite together and help fight this bigotry and racism that is so prevalent in the relations between our communities, we must hold interfaith meetings and improve the relations between our religions so we can get rid of stereotypes and misconceptions that our communities are plagued with. I would also like to invite you guys to our leadership Academy so you could learn about our program and<\/p>\n Nov. 4, 2018 Dear my fellow American in faith,<\/strong> For something like this to happen in America, a place that is based in a principal in a belief that all people are free to practice their own religion is a complete outrage. Again, I would like to offer my condolences in this time. Respectfully,<\/p>\n RA\u00a011\/4\/18\u00a0Age 15 \u00a0To the members of the Jewish Community\u00a0<\/strong>My name is R and I am writing from the Islamic Center of Northern Virginia. I am truly sorry for the horrid events that happened in the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting. This action of hate is an outrage and expresses the ignorance of evil people in the world. People like us that suffer from some peoples hatred toward us, need to unify and come together against this type of ignorance. For centuries our communities have always pointed out our differences and rivalries. It is our generations turn to turn away from that and point out our similarities and learn \u00a0more about each others perspective and traditions. We should introduce more youth programs for the newer generations. Again we offer our deepest condolences for the loved ones lost in this dreadful act of ignorance and we hope we can come together to battle this same fight that we are in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by KL 16-y\/o\u00a0November 4, 2018\u00a0Dear fellow American in faith, My name is K L, I\u2019m a junior and attend a Leadership Academy at the Shirley Gate Mosque Islamic Community.

\nMy name is H and I\u2019m a member of the Islamic community and the Shirley Gate Rd mosque. I would like to take this time to offer my condolences to the Jewish community in light of the tragic event that occurred at the synagogue Pittsburgh. I can\u2019t begin to imagine what you guys must be feeling. I personally would be confused and shocked. Why would they attack our community? What reason could this person have to do this, to make us feel unsafe in our place of worship?<\/p>\n
