“We appreciate the many sincere expressions of sympathy and condemnation that came from around the world, including from our dialogue partners in the Muslim community, following this act of grave injustice. In particular, our partners in the American Muslim community including the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) have stood with us as trusted allies in speaking out against violence and injustice and in defense of religious freedom. Solidarity among people of every religion in the face of attacks on people of any one religion is an example of respect for religious freedom in action.”- Cardinal McCarrick
