"A few months ago, Boko Haram terrorists in Nigeria separated Muslims and Christians in a college dormitory before executing dozens of innocent Christian students. Now the world is confrontedwith Islamist terrorists whose murderous plan was to mass murder as many non-Muslims as possible, in Nairobi Kenya, once again first separating citizens who are Muslim," charged RabbisMarvin Hier and Abraham Cooper, founder and dean and associate dean of the leading Jewish Human Rights NGO.

"We urge religious Muslim leaders to take on all those who aid and abet such desecrations — through their sermons, online, in schoolsand in the media. These leaders must condemn and isolate all Islamist terrorists who invoke God's name to justify murder and mayhem against innocent Christians, Hindus, Jews, and otherMuslims who disagree with a violent theology which ultimately threatens us all,” Wiesenthal Center officials concluded.
