Dear Friends,
 
Everyone at The Arab American Family Support Center is shocked and horrified by the deplorable act of violence at Fort Hood in Texas which took the lives of 13 people and injured 31 others. Our deepest condolences go out to the families who lost a loved one as the result of the actions of one disturbed individual.
 
AAFSC has always been committed to building bridges and creating an environment based on peace and understanding. We condemn violence in any form and we grieve along with the rest of the country over this senseless act.
 
Regardless of individual opinions about the conficts overseas, we can all agree that those brave individuals who choose to serve in the military deserve our appreciation and respect. Thousands of Arab Americans and Muslims have proudly served in all four branches of the military and have defended the United States in combat situations.
 
It's crucial that we all avoid the scapegoating and broad generalizations against Arab Americans and Muslim Americans which happened in the aftermath of previous incidents of violence.
