Islamic Center of Abcd condemns murder of American hostage Paul Johnson in Saudi Arabia

Abcd, IL – June 19, 2004 – Members of the Islamic Center of Chicago strongly condemned the murder of American hostage Paul Johnson in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia at the hands of terrorists.

The 1,000-member mosque's president, Bilal Saleem, called the slaying an "affront to Islam."

"We condemn the murder of Paul Johnson in the strongest terms," Saleem said. "Mr. Johnson's killing is an affront to Islam and to Muslims in America and abroad. It is in no way a reflection of Islamic teachings, which advise Muslims to preserve and protect life."

Saleem added that he and his congregation offer their sincerest condolences and prayers to Mr. Johnson's family at this time of great sorrow and distress.
