Local Muslim Community Holds Vigil In Honor Of San Bernardino Victims

WILKINSBURG (KDKA) -- A prayer vigil was held at a Wilkinsburg mosque Saturday to remember the victims of the San Bernardino shootings and their families.

The members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community say they condemn the violent attack and say it's disturbing that the attackers claimed the act was in the name of Islam. They stressed that those radicalized views do not reflect the views of most Muslims.

"The purpose of this vigil is to promote the understanding, the outside dialogue and discussion, and come to our open houses to learn about each other, and I think that's the way to move forward," said Adnan Ahmed with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
