The Center for Islamic Pluralism (CIP) strenuously protests the terrorist bombing on Monday, May 28, 2007, of the Shaykh Abd Al-Qadir Gailani mosque in central Baghdad, Iraq, which killed some 21 people. The mosque is named for the inspirer of the Qadiri Sufi order and is considered one of the outstanding Sufi shrines in the Muslim world. Early news reportage strongly suggests this atrocity was carried out by Wahhabi Sunni terrorists. CIP calls on all Muslims and believers of good will to oppose terrorism in Iraq and to assist the Sufi and other moderate communities in that country.
