Jamaat for Justice Press Statement at Press Conference Condemning FBI Raid on Light of the Age Mosque
Pittsburgh PA
By Saleh Waziruddin, co-founder Jamaat for Justice
Our organization’s name, Jamaat for Justice, means congregating together for justice. In the face of the indefensible FBI armed raid on a place of coming together for peace we urge all Pittsburghers to stand by the Light of the Age Mosque in this test of our solidarity. We can be proud of our city and our people to see that the non-Muslim neighbors of the North Side have kept your bonds strong with the Light of the Age Mosque, and we can also be proud that Muslims from several different mosques have come forward in the hope of preventing the FBI from doing any more injustice. We know that there is no excuse for terrorizing a community the way the FBI did here last week, and we know that if we don’t want any more of our sanctuaries and neighborhoods to be invaded we have to stand strong together now and loudly denounce the FBI’s intrusion into the peace we are creating at home.
