On behalf of the HalalFest team, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the San Diego Islamic Center and the broader Muslim community for the loss of three innocent lives in the recent attack. We strongly condemn this heinous act of terrorism, which was fueled by rampant Islamophobia in today's highly charged political climate. We appreciate the swift response of local authorities and law enforcement in San Diego and urge the FBI and other federal agencies to ensure the safety and security of all mosques and religious institutions across the country. We also call upon US politicians, leaders and media pundits to exercise caution in their words, avoiding generalizations, stereotypes, and false narratives that perpetuate division and hatred against Muslims and other minority groups in our country - Ali Malik, CEO & Chairman, HalalFest, Inc.
