Washington, (IINA) - President of United States of America Barack Obama urged American society to treat Muslims without prejudice following Brussels attack, The News Tribe reported.
In his address on Saturday, Obama said Muslim-Americans are “our most important partners in the nation’s fight against those who would wage violent jihad. “That’s why we have to reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslim-Americans, and their enormous contributions to our country and our way of life,” added, Obama.
“Such attempts are contrary to our character, to our values, and to our history as a nation built around the idea of religious freedom. It’s also counterproductive,” he said.
“It plays right into the hands of terrorists who want to turn us against one another who need a reason to recruit more people to their hateful cause.”
Obama’s statement is important in the aftermath of Brussels terror attack that claimed 31 lives and injury of over 300 innocents.
“At least 14 Americans were injured, and we pray for their full recovery, along with everyone else affected by these attacks,” Obama said.
