A prayer vigil will be held at 8:10 this evening at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community 5600 W. Fond du Lac Ave., Milwaukee, to honor the memory of the victims of today's shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin.

"Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA – the oldest Muslim organization in America – strongly condemns this morning’s senseless shooting on worshipers gathered at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin," the community said in a news release Sunday.

"Such brutality and hatred does not represent the otherwise tolerant and peaceful relationships between faith communities in this nation, and Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA calls on all people of conscience to condemn this act.

"Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA extends its prayers, condolences and sympathy to the Sikh community and hopes that justice will be established as law enforcement search for the suspect."

 “We are saddened that our Sikh friends suffered at the hands of this senseless act,” said Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, National Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, USA.

“This incident demonstrates more attention needs to be paid to religious education in order to foster a more tolerant and peaceful society.”
