In the wake of Sunday’s horrific mass shooting in Orlando, LGBTQ Muslims are speaking out with words of mourning for the victims and to caution against using the tragedy to stir increased Islamophobic sentiment.

Shortly after the shooter’s name was reported on Sunday, the Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity (MASGD), which works to empower and connect LGBTQ Muslims, released a statement expressing grief for the “senseless loss of life that is a reminder of the violence that LGBTQ people continue to experience.”

“Although the facts are still emerging, as LGBTQ Muslims, we feel compelled to speak out at this time of national tragedy to appeal for solidarity and to ask that there be no rush to assign blame to any individual or group beyond the shooter,” the group wrote.

As MASGD noted, the shooting occurred during a convergence of LGBTQ Pride month and the festival of Ramadan. “At moments like this, we are doubly affected,” the group said. “It pains us to see that these periods of joy, celebration, and peace have been marred so violently with such horror.”

However, rather than receiving recognition, this cross-section of communities faces a continued anti-Muslim response from conservative lawmakers and other public figures—none less vocal than presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who capitalized on the tragedy to reiterate his call for a ban on Muslim migration, although the shooter, Omar Mateen, was a U.S. citizen born in New York.

“I said this was going to happen—and it is only going to get worse,” Trump said in a statement on Sunday, adding that the country “can’t afford to be politically correct.”

The real estate mogul also challenged presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton to say that the attack had been caused by “two words: radical Islam.”

On Monday, Clinton capitulated.

“Whether you call it radical jihadism or radical Islamism, I’m happy to say either,” she told CNN.
