The leader of the Muslim community in Sharon, Massachusetts, Imam Abdul Rahman Ahmad payed a shiva visit yesterday to the family of Ezra Schwartz.
Also, this past Friday, as seen HERE the Imam reached out to the town’s Jews, expressing “great sadness” in the wake of the terror attack in Israel. “It was with great sadness that I learned last night that Ezra Schwartz of Sharon had his life brutally cut short in Israel yesterday,” Ahmad wrote in the letter, sent Friday to Joseph Meszler, the rabbi of Sharon’s Temple Sinai.
“The Islamic community at Sharon has always categorically condemned such violent acts based on our firm belief that Islam enjoins us to be a people who bring peace and harmony to the world,” he added.
In his letter, the iman offered to “serve as a resource and ally for you during this trying time,” and expressed hope that “this terrible incident will be a catalyst for bringing our communities together, rather than pulling us apart.
“Your families will be in my and my family’s hearts, and in our prayers,” he concluded, before signing the letter with a Hebrew condolence traditionally uttered by visitors to Jewish houses of mourning.

If only all the Imams around the World would be like him then the World would view Islam in a very different light!
it’s all part of the Islamic warfare. This is what they’re taught to do. It’s not a theory but a fact to anyone who knows them.
Truly a man of faith.
They are gonna kill him
#2, get a life. Give credit where credit is due
לא מדובשך ולא מעוקצך
I would be courteous and encouraging to him but I would not give him the combination to the shul.
Note the language: Ezra Hy”d “had his life brutally cut short in Israel.” No condemnation of the thugs, just a politically-correct and meaningless response. Does this guy have any track record of tolerance or is this all PR?
its obvious the whole thing is a farce. they preach kill the jews in mosque and then apologize fro when they do. please lets not be naive over here
@ #8 you must have missed the “The Islamic community at Sharon has always categorically condemned such violent acts”
