The Global Imams Council condemns in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attack on Congregation Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, United States of America.
His Excellency Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker is a prominent advocate for peace, harmony and interfaith. We are grateful that he and his congregation were rescued, and that the terrorist attacker is no longer a threat to society.
Furthermore, we denounce all organizations and individuals that echo the demands of the hostage-taker, and his sympathy for convicted terrorists. We stand in solidarity with the global Jewish community during this difficult time and pray for the speedy recovery of all the victims. Our thoughts are with them and their loved ones.
