 Jeddah (IINA) - The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned the terrorist blasts that rocked Kuwait, Tunisia and France on Friday. In separate statements, the pan Islamic body denounced heinous crimes, saying that they are totally negating the basic tenets of Islam.
The OIC Secretary General Iyad Ameen Madani said that the abhorrent crime targeting Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque in Kuwait’s capital city has not only caused the death and injury of scores of innocent worshipers, but also aimed at undermining the security and stability of Kuwait and the cohesive fabric of its society. “No Muslim would target worshippers in a mosque, on a blessed Friday in the holy month of Ramadan because this negates every tenet of Islam. The terrorist group that committed this evil act is simply a gang of criminals who put no value to human life, and are devoid of any values, morality and religious belief; and aim at defaming Islam and Muslims,” he said.
Madani expressed the solidarity of the OIC with Kuwait’s leadership, government and people, and conveyed his condolences to the Amir and the government of Kuwait as well as the families of the victims. He also wished quick recovery of the injured. He reiterated the OIC’s firm and principled stand that condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations; stressing on the need for the consolidated efforts of all the member states to extract this malaise based on the resolutions issued by the OIC in this regard.
In another statement, the secretary general strongly condemned the bloody terrorist attack that targeted a hotel in the city of Sousse, Tunisia, resulting in the death and injury of many Tunisians and foreign tourists. Madani expressed the full solidarity of the OIC with the people and government of Tunisia in confronting terrorism, which aims to destabilize Tunisia’s security and its political and economic stability. He also stressed on the need to consolidate international efforts in the fight against terrorism, which has recently increased, and that is by addressing its political, social economic and security dimensions, stressing in this regard the OIC’s principled and firm stand condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. Madani expressed, in the name of the OIC, sincere condolences to the families of the victims and his hopes for the speedy recovery of the injured.
The OIC denounced the terrorist attack on a US-owned gas factory near the city of Lyon in southeastern France on Friday where a body was found beheaded and a number of people were injured. The OIC considered the barbaric act of decapitating the victim as shocking and brutal. Madani, expressed his distress at the execution of such a heinous crime, underlining that the perpetrators are an affront to humanity and all moral and religious values, and called for bringing them to justice. He reiterated the OIC’s firm and principled stand condemning all forms of terrorism, which has no objective other than to spread fear, destabilization and conflict. He emphasized the need to consolidate international efforts in the fight against terrorism and address the political, social economic and security dimensions. Madani conveyed his deepest sympathies to the bereaved family and wished for the early recovery of the wounded victims.
