(WASHINGTON, D.C., 10/27/18) – The US Council of Muslim Organizations (USCMO), the largest coalition of leading national and local Muslim-American organizations, vehemently condemns the heinous crime committed at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA, during Saturday morning services when a gunman uttered antisemitic slurs, opened fire on the congregants, and killed 11 people and injured few others.
The USCMO denounces hate in all its forms and condemns the anti-Semitism that motivated this harrowing incident. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Our thoughts and prayers go out to those who were hurt by this violence, and to all those in our Jewish communities who are reeling from this staggering news.
