Love is bigger than hate. It's horrifying to imagine the attack in St. Cloud last night. I am praying for the victims and their families, and am grateful that it was not worse. I am also grateful for our first responders, who once again put their own safety aside in an uncertain and dangerous situation in order to keep others safe. And my thoughts are with Mayor Dave Kleis and the entire city of St. Cloud as they work through this very hard time.

At this difficult moment, I also urge every Minneapolitan and every Minnesotan to support and stand firmly with our Muslim, East African, and Somali friends and neighbors. A horrible, violent attack like this should never be exploited to attack a whole community and a whole religion. Yet we have seen Islamophobia rear its ugly head in terrible moments like this far too many times — *and* at a moment when one person in particular is playing to fear and hatred of immigrants on a national scale, I fully understand the worry of the Somali community here that it will happen again.

From the first moments after this terrible event, the Somali community of Minnesota came together to decry this horrible act. We all get to come together to reject hate in all of its forms. We must not and will not allow hate to divide us. We are stronger together.

As Mayor, I know in my bones how much richer and stronger we are as a city and a people because the Somali community has chosen to make Minneapolis its home. I am grateful for that fact every day. As we pray for the victims and give thanks for our first responders, let's also hold our hold our Muslim neighbors in our hearts.
