ISCA Memorial to Remember Victims of 9/11
*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***
Washington, DC - The Washington-DC based Islamic Supreme Council of America and The As-Siddiq Institute and Mosque of Burton, Michigan, announce a "Day of Remembrance" on the second anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.
ISCA and ASIM will be holding a national meeting of commemoration and prayer, with attendees coming from across the country to participate. Mosque doors will be open from 3:00 p.m. for any and all to attend and join in our ceremonies and prayers, with the main gathering taking place in the prayer hall at 7:00 p.m.
"On this, the second year after the 9/11 terror attacks, we call on all believers, from every faith to come together in the spirit of shared sorrow for, when our country was attacked, each and every one of our hearts suffered a wound," said Dr. Hedieh Mirahmadi, ISCA’s new executive director. "Our sentiments go out to every person who suffered from these horrific attacks. We pray that, as this nation heals its wounds, it emerges stronger and more unified than before."
Mirahmadi called on Muslims to stand behind President Bush in all that he is doing to prevent future attacks.
"We ask our community to remain ever-vigilant for those would seek to harm our nation," she said.
ISCA and ASIM welcome the participation and attendance of local religious leaders, law enforcement officials, and civic and community leaders, as well as our neighbors and friends in the local area at this memorial event.
