Islamic Center Shooting, San Diego

May 18, 2026

SCIR is saddened by the attack at the Islamic Center in San Diego. This Islamic Center holds prayers for its community members and has a school facility for children.

Their mission, as stated on their website, is  “work with the larger community to serve the less fortunate, to educate, and to better our nation.”

Places of worship are sacred sanctuaries and should be safe places. It is horrible to witness that a place made to honor and show devotion to our Creator becomes a target for destruction and violence. SCIR offers prayers for a better understanding of what we have in common and solace to those impacted by this act.
