Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) had this to say:
We at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), along with the entire American Muslim community, are deeply saddened by the massive loss of life resulting from the tragic events of September 11th.
American Muslims unequivocally condemn these vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, friends and loved ones of those who have been killed or injured.
We also extend our gratitute to all the heroic firefighters, police officers and emergency medical workers who continue to risk their lives in the ongoing rescue and relief efforts.
We join with all Americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators of these crimes.
May we all stand together through these difficult times to promote peace and love over violence and hate.
