The group expressed its utter abhorrence at the carnage that was carried out in Paris on Friday night. The Islamic State (IS) movement claimed responsibility for the shootings and bombings; President Francois Hollande declared France would wage a “ruthless” war.

Dr Waqar Azmi OBE, chairman of Bromsgrove Muslim Community Trust, said: “We are deeply shaken and appalled by the horrifying Paris attacks and our deepest condolences are with the family and friends of the victims, and the French nation”.
We speak as Muslims, as Americans and as human beings who are committed to peace, healing, democracy and justice for all children and people in the world.
“We do not accept any terrorist attack on any civilian whatsoever”.
“Islam as a belief can not be radicalised”, they said.
“As Muslims, we reaffirm our belief, as emphasised in the Quran, that whoever kills one life, it is as if they have killed all of humanity. The ISCJ strongly condemns the attacks that took place”, reads the prepared statement.
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Sri Lanka condemns recent horrific multiple terrorist attacks in France in strongest possible manner and offers its deepest condolences to the people and the government of France. Terrorism has no religion and neither does humanity: “we urge Kiwis to stand together in humanity”. Just as believers of various faiths do not relate to cults ordering entire congregations to commit suicide, relatively few Muslims relate to violence-based jihad. We must remain vigilant against all hate crimes.
