Assemblyman McGowan Condemns Hateful Language Used at Islamic Center of Rockland
A Statement from Assemblyman John McGowan (R,C-Rockland)
August 19, 2024
“I am deeply disturbed to hear of an incident at the Islamic Center of Rockland, where a speaker reportedly stated, “Destroy all Zionist Jews.” Religious leaders and speakers, who are entrusted to guide their congregations, must be held to a high standard of accountability for the words they share. While free speech is a cherished right, expressions that incite violence and hate are unacceptable, regardless of our views on specific issues.”
