The Muslim Leadership Council of San Diego condemns the murder of George Floyd and the countless Black lives lost to police brutality. George Floyd was killed while in police custody, handcuffed and laying flat on his stomach. A White officer pressed his knee against his neck for several minutes as George Floyd pleaded for his life.

Police brutality continues to harm Black communities and we all must do what we can to stand for justice and save Black lives. Our faith teaches us in the Quran that if we save one life, it is as if we saved all of humanity. And if we take one life, it is as if we took the life of all of humanity. The officers responsible for the murder of George Floyd must be brought to justice immediately and held accountable for their actions.

We pray for the day that we see a complete cease in the violence, hate and racism directed towards our Black community. Our hearts mourn for George Floyd's family, the Black community and all those impacted by police violence and racism.
