穆斯林联盟主席谴责法国恐怖袭击

Like most other communities across America, Muslims were shocked at the Paris terrorist attacks.

像绝大多数美国群体一样，穆斯林群体对巴黎恐怖袭击感到震惊。

Saba Ahmed is a lawyer and president of the Republican Muslim Coalition. She condemned terrorists for such atrocious acts.

萨巴·艾哈迈德是一名律师，同时她也是共和党穆斯林联盟主席。她对恐怖分子的暴行给予了谴责。

They have absolutely no basis whatsoever to be targeting innocent civilians in Western countries that are giving them refuge.

他们没有理由袭击无辜群众，况且还是允许他们避难的西方国家。

Ahmed said that despite the ferocity of the attacks on the West, groups like IS are primarily hurting other Muslims.

艾哈迈德称除了在西方的暴行之外，像“伊斯兰国”极端组织等团体，他们的主要攻击目标是其他穆斯林。

Muslims are the first ones who are affected by ISIL terrorism. They are murdering innocent Muslims in Syria, Iraq, all over the Middle East.

穆斯林是率先遭受“伊斯兰国”恐怖组织影响的群体。他们在叙利亚、伊拉克以及其他中东国家杀害无辜的穆斯林。

And, as many have pointed out, she added that groups like IS are not at all representative of Islam.

就像许多人所指出的，她认为像“IS”等组织并不能代表所有伊斯兰。

They have perverted our religion and criminals that chose to misuse religion teachings to justify their criminal actions.

他们歪曲了伊斯兰教，并乱用伊斯兰教义为自己的行为进行辩护。

Ahmed said military action, like the French government's strong response to the attacks, is necessary.

艾哈迈德称实施军事打击是非常必要的，就像法国政府对待袭击所采取的强硬措施一样。

I think that it’s really good that they went off and did massive campaigns in Iraq, targeting ISIS headquarters and strong hold. They have to do whatever preventive measures they can take to disrupt and destroy these networks and hopefully prevent any future atrocities.

法国政府对伊拉克的“IS”大本营进行了猛攻，我认为这非常有必要。他们应不惜一切代价采取防护措施破坏“IS”联络网，希望能够避免暴行的再次发生。

But she said a long-term anti-terrorism plan is still needed.

但她称我们仍然需要长期的反恐计划。

We have to have a better strategy. President Obama this morning was talking about how we need to reduce their strongholds and fight them comprehensively with all of our allies.

我们需要制定更加有效的策略。今天早上，奥巴马总统提及了减少大本营数量，与同盟一同展开全面打击等事宜。

Ahmed thinks it is vital to reach out to the Muslim communities in the U.S. and worldwide, because she says they could be a tremendous resource in the global war on terrorism.

艾哈迈德称我们应该与在美国，以及全球的穆斯林群体进行联系，她认为他们将会成为世界反恐战争的中坚力量。
