College Republicans president asked Muslim group to condemn Barcelona attack, but got this instead

The president of the College Republicans group at San Diego State University said he received violent threats after sending a letter to the college’s Muslim Student Association asking its members to condemn the recent terror attack in Barcelona, Spains.

In an Aug. 17 letter to the MSA, the same day as the attack in Barcelona, College Republicans President Brandon Jones said his group was “saddened” by the “tragedy” and offered thoughts and prayers to the victims and the families of those who were murdered.

At least 14 people died in the attacks in Barcelona, and more than a hundred others were injured. At least one American, 42-year-old Jared Tucker of Walnut Creek, California, was among those killed in the attack.

“Attacks of this nature are becoming increasingly common in European countries and other parts of the world and each time the Islamic State (ISIS) takes credit for the attacks,” Jones wrote in the letter to the MSA, adding that such attacks “must not only be stopped, but disavowed by Muslim leaders on our campus and in our community.”
