Fethullah Gulen’s Statement on Mass Shooting at Pittsburgh Synagogue
Date posted: October 28, 2018
I am shocked and deeply saddened by the horrific attack against the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. It is heartbreaking to see such a tragedy happen at a place of worship. I strongly condemn this hate-driven attack on the worshippers.
May this tragic event be an occasion to strengthen our commitment to promoting love, respect, and compassion among every individual.
I express my heartfelt condolences to family and friends of those who lost their lives. I pray to God, the Most Compassionate, to lead our society to days of peace and tranquility where respect for human life overcomes hatred. I also pray for the fast recovery of the wounded.
I have seen nothing but beauty from the Hizmet movement. I have taught at Hizmet schools in Turkey and seen teachers who work 18 hour long days seven days a week neglecting their own families in order to teach poor villagers in Sanliurfa.
