"O mankind! Lo!, We have created you from male and female, and have made you
nations and tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of
you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Lo! God is Knower, Aware"
The Holy Quran, Chapter 49, Verse 13
ICB Wayland Statement on San Diego's Anti-Muslim Hate Incident
The Islamic Center of Boston, Wayland expresses deep sadness and concern following
the anti-Muslim hate incident and murderous attack targeting a mosque in San Diego.
This act of violence is not only an attack on one community of worshipers, but an
attack on the values of safety, dignity, and religious freedom that must be protected for all people.
Like other hateful incidents we have witnessed across our country, this painful loss of
innocent life reminds us that Islamophobia and religious hatred continue to threaten the
sense of security that many communities should rightfully feel in their places of worship.
No person should ever fear for their safety while gathering in prayer, reflection, or community.
We stand in solidarity with Muslim families in San Diego and with Muslim communities across
the nation who are once again grieving, fearful, and seeking reassurance in the face of hatred.
We are also deeply grateful for the many messages of support and solidarity we have received
from neighbors, faith leaders, public officials, and friends from all backgrounds here in
Massachusetts and beyond.
At ICB Wayland, we remain committed to building bridges of understanding, compassion, and mutual
respect among all communities. Hate cannot divide us. Moments like these call upon all of us,
people of every faith and background, to speak clearly against bigotry and violence wherever it appears.
We appreciate the ongoing partnership and vigilance of local officials and law enforcement agencies
who continue to prioritize the safety of all houses of worship. Please read the statement by the
Town of Wayland and the Wayland Police Department HERE.
While there is no known threat to our local community, we encourage everyone to remain
aware and to report any suspicious activity to local authorities.
Together, we pray for peace, healing, and protection for all communities, and we reaffirm our
commitment to a society where every person is safe, welcome, and free to worship without fear.
