New York rabbi, iman denounce violence after bomb plot exposed

Two New York-area religious leaders, Muslim cleric Shamsi Ali and Orthodox Rabbi Marc Schneier, issued a joint condemnation of violence Thursday after authorities arrested four men over a plot to bomb local Jewish centers.

Imam Ali, the head of Islamic Culture Center of New York, one of the largest Islamic centers in the U.S. called on "Muslim leaders to stand firm against the forces of evil."

He added that any terror attack acted out in the name of Islam represented a distortion of the Holy Koran.

Rabbi Schneier, the director of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding as well as the Chairman of the American Section of the World Jewish Congress, echoed Ali's condemnation.

"It is reassuring to hear the voices of Muslim leaders speaking hard in solidarity with the Jewish community and unequivocally condemning acts of terrorism and violence," he said.
