The Islamic Shura Council calls upon the SoCal Muslim community to always uphold the Islamic values of mutual respect and condemn all inhumane expressions of sectarian hate, such as the reported tragedy in Egypt. "No faith nor reason warrants killing of the innocent. This is a horrible sin and crime in Islam," said Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, the Chairman of the Islamic Shura Council.
