Islamic Council Condemns Terror Attacks
The Islamic Council of New Zealand strongly condemns the cowardly attacks on innocent French and Lebanese citizens that have shaken the world in the last few days.
As followers of the Islamic faith, we find it repugnant and counter to all universal human values to shed innocent blood in such a brazen and despicable way.
No true divine faith teaches violence, and we denounce any individual and group that use such tactics to instill and reap terror within societies and disturb the routine of normal, functional lives.
As expressed to the Minister of Ethnic Affairs, ICONZ is ready and able to cooperate with the government at national and local level to counter the terrorism at grass root level by the eradication of religious illiteracy.
