Assemblyman McGowan Condemns Hateful Language Used at Islamic Center of Rockland

Aug 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.”
