ICCM Shawwal (1441 H) - June 2020

 Statement about Incidents related to the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The Islamic Center of Central Missouri (ICCM) joins National Muslim organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today in condemning numerous incidents of police brutality that have occurred during nationwide protests sparked by George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis, Minn.

In a statement, CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell said:
“Engaging in police brutality at a protest against police brutality is a surefire way to escalate the unrest occurring on streets across our nation. The imposition of a curfew does not give any police officer free reign to gas, beat, shoot rubber bullets at, or otherwise attack protesters and journalists.

“Although we are not surprised to see that extremists and infiltrators continue to use peaceful protests as an opportunity to engage in violence, we expect and demand better from the law enforcement officers sworn to serve and protect their communities.”

The ICCM joins the Islamic Society of North America in today’s statement:
The Islamic Society of North America unequivocally condemns the horrific death of George Floyd and appeals to Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, to conduct a full inquiry of this incident. While the arrest and charges against Derek Chauvin are the first steps towards justice, a full investigation to rule out any other motivations, must be conducted. Tragedies like this put us on a slippery slope which threaten the very core of our nation, our democracy, and our values.   

ICCM sends thoughts and prayers to the family of George Floyd. May his soul rest in peace.
