Washington, DC | www.mpac.org | January 1, 2025 — The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) is deeply saddened and outraged by the devastating attack that occurred early this morning on Bourbon Street in New Orleans. This horrific act of violence has claimed multiple lives and injured many others, leaving families and communities in profound grief.
We unequivocally condemn this onslaught. MPAC stands in solidarity with the victims, their families, and the people of New Orleans during this difficult time. We thank law enforcement for intervening to end the assault and we urge authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident to ensure that anyone else involved in the attack is brought to justice.
While details about the assailant and their motives are still emerging, we emphasize the importance of refraining from speculation and remaining united against all forms of violence. In this time of mourning, we call on communities to come together in compassion and understanding. Let us honor the memory of the victims by fostering a society rooted in peace and mutual security.
Invest in MPAC’s work to improve public policies and perceptions. We’re changing how America views Islam and Muslims.
