ISBR condemns unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms the terrorist bombings at the Boston marathon and offers sincere condolences to the families of those killed and injured.

   Islam strictly condemns religious extremism and the use of violence against innocent lives.

     Targeting civilians' life and property through suicide bombings or any other method of attack is haram--or forbidden--and those who commit these barbaric acts are criminals, not martyrs.

It is haram (forbidden) for a Muslim to cooperate with any individual or group that is involved in any act of terrorism or violence.
