We the members of
the Cal State Long Beach Turkish Student Association utterly
condemn the apparent terrorist attacks in New York and Washington,
D.C. and offer our condolences to the families of those who
were killed or injured. We join with all Americans in calling
for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators.
We also condemn
the false accusation of innocent Muslim people. Nothing justifies
accusing over 1.3 billion individuals belonging to Muslim
fate with terrorism or subjecting an estimated 8 million American
Muslims to fear of retaliation due to stereotyping and accusations.
Again, we express our deepest condolences and heart felt prayers
to all the families affected by these tragic events.
