An Open Letter:
As united leaders in our diverse Faiths, we, the Newport Mesa Irvine Interfaith Council, are appalled and outraged that an attack upon the Muslim faith occurred in our community. An attack on one Faith is an attack on all Faiths.
The January 1, 2010 Qur’an burning at Islamic Education Center of Orange County has been declared a Hate Crime by Costa Mesa Police authorities.  We stand with them in naming this a hateful incident and condemn all acts of hate.
Our Interfaith Council is committed to “building a community that honors and respects our many voices.”   We encourage friendship, understanding, and compassion and stand against violence and intolerance.  The heart of all religions includes these values. 
We, the undersigned and members of the Interfaith Council Board of Directors, stand with the Islamic Education Center of Orange County to deplore the actions of the person or persons who burned the Qur’an as we work towards a community that is inclusive of all faiths where people can freely worship without fear of bigotry or violence.  It is our hope that religious people will join us in our vision of bridge building that we might truly live in a safe and open community.
