Yesterday, two teenage gunmen shot and killed Amin Abdullah, Mansour Kaziha, and Nader Awad at the Islamic Center of San Diego (ICSD). The victims were caring and courageous individuals who were deeply committed to their families, their community, and the ICSD. We mourn their deaths and hold their families and loved ones in the Light.

This violence does not occur in a vacuum. Islamophobic and racist rhetoric and policies are coming directly from the U.S. government and amplified by media outlets and commentators. We must use every available avenue to stop Islamophobia and build a world where people can live and worship in peace.

ICSD is more than just a mosque; the center also houses a school and is hub for community organizing and events. AFSC’s U.S.-Mexico Border Program has worked with ICSD for years, partnering with us on immigrant rights work, sharing their meeting spaces, and hosting AFSC speakers. This evening we will join them, along with CAIR, Muslim Leadership Council, and many others, for an interfaith vigil for the victims and families. Everyone in the San Diego area is welcome: Lindbergh Neighborhood Park at 6:30.

For Quakers, children’s voices carry weight alongside those of adults and this weekend that commitment was on display at Britain Yearly Meeting May 2026.
