Moyo Islamic Academy (MIA) and our affiliated partner that is The International Open University (IOU) denounces, in the strongest terms, terrorism and all forms of extremism against any people, community, or country regardless of religion, color, race, or political views. Such acts have both a devastating and detrimental effect on humanity and society as a whole. Terroristic acts committed by misguided souls also tarnish the image of Islam. These actions of a few distort perceptions of Muslims, which results in negative stereotypes that increase Islamophobia within our societies.
