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

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”
