Faith Groups Condemn Recent Terrorist Attacks

03-600Religious groups are among those who have condemned the recent terrorist attacks in Minnesota and New York. A 22-year-old Somali immigrant stabbed 10 people at a mall in St. Cloud as he made a reference to Allah. The assailant was shot dead by an off-duty police officer, and ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack. In Manhattan, a man suspected of planting bombs that injured dozens of people was captured after a Sikh man spotted the suspect asleep and alerted authorities. The Sikh American said he realized he “could have been mistaken for the perpetrator,” but that his faith teaches “justice and tolerance for all.”
