New Zealand Mosque Shooting

Our hearts are heavy. Horrific terror attacks took place in Christchurch, New Zealand today. Armed gunmen stormed two mosques during Jumu’ah (Friday prayers) shooting at men, women, the elderly, and children. The death toll has currently risen to 49 people, with 48 injured. May the souls of the deceased rest in peace. May their loved ones gain the strength to bear this tragic loss. May the injured heal. Today we stand in solidarity with the victims and their families. Let this serve as a reminder of what horrifying outcomes stem from hate, and be a reminder that terrorism has no religion or faith.
