In the Name of the Most Merciful God

We believe in God, and in that which has been sent down on us and sent down on Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac and Jacob, and the Tribes, and that which was given to Moses and Jesus and the Prophets, of their Lord; we make no division between any of them, and to Him we surrender.
-Chapter 2, verses 135-136, the Holy Koran



The splitters, the dividers, the haters, the impious and the blasphemers, the traitorous trolls are trying to exploit the Fort Hood outrage to turn Americans one against the other.

They will, of course, fail.

They know they will fail but, in the interval, they hope to subvert our national grief and turn it into something ugly, something filthy, something they can employ to deface our American people and make us as ugly as them. They want to shame our country but they only shame themselves.

I stand with the followers of Islam against the haters. I stand with the Muslims of our country against the liars. I will not tolerate any slanders against the Muslims of our country because that is a slander against our country.

With our Muslim countrymen and countrywomen, I pray for those lost and wounded at Fort Hood and for their friends and family. With them, I pray for our country.
