ICNA's Statement on Killing of Osama bin Laden
—FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—

JAMAICA, New York (May 2, 2011) -- The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) issued a press release this morning on the killing of Osama bin Laden by a US military operation outside Abbottabad, Pakistan yesterday.


"Osama bin Laden posed a serious threat to the security of America and the world, and the removal of this threat is a significant turning point in the post-9/11 global War on Terror.

"Our thoughts are first and foremost with the families of those killed on 9/11 and the countless innocent men, women and children who have died in the ensuing wars. We pray this news brings closure to these families and ultimately ushers in a new chapter of peace and understanding in America's history.

"ICNA hopes that the Obama administration will use this pivotal moment as an opportunity to rapidly end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and ensure the safe return of our troops.

"We reiterate President Obama's statement that America is not at war with Islam and Osama bin Laden was not representative of Muslims. We must remember with conviction the unity that brought us out of the devastation of September 11, 2001, and work to preserve that unity in coming days."

The Islamic Circle of North America is a leading American Muslim organization dedicated to the betterment of society through the promotion of Islamic values. Since 1968, ICNA has worked to build relations between communities by devoting itself to education, outreach, social services and relief efforts.

As Salaamu 3alaikum...correct me if im wrong brothers...but I saw Sheikh ibnUthaymeen speak very highly about Osamah...in fact the video is here on youtube...so why does Sh. Omar Suleiman say Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen stated that he had "khawarij views"?

May Allah grant Usamah shahada.
