The brutal murder of Imam Muhsin Hendricks is a reprehensible act that stands in stark violation of Islamic values, which sanctify human life and condemn the unjust taking of it. Islam teaches mercy, justice, and the sanctity of all lives, making such violence against anyone, especially a figure like Imam Muhsin who worked tirelessly for the inclusion of queer Muslims, utterly contrary to its teachings. While we do not yet know who murdered him, it is evident that this tragic event is being exploited to vilify Islam. We must focus on seeking justice and preserving Imam Muhsin's legacy of compassion and inclusivity, rather than allowing it to be overshadowed by agendas that seek to divide and incite hatred.
