Lt. General Robert W. Cone
Commandant, Ft. Hood Military Base
Ft. Hood, Texas
Dear General Hood:
I am writing on behalf of the Muslim American Society (MAS), and our thousands of members throughout the United States, to express both our shock and our deep sadness in the aftermath of the shooting at Fort Hood that killed eleven individuals and left many more wounded.  This unprovoked and unconscionable act of violence against American military personnel and civilians alike is utterly reprehensible, and against every tenet of faith and morality..
We offer our prayers and condolences to you, to the Fort Hood community, and especially to the families of loved ones of those who were killed and injured in this attack.  May God Almighty comfort all of you in this time of great loss and sorrow.
Sincerely yours,
Imam Mahdi Bray
Executive Director
