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.
