Press Release - London Attacks

   Subject: London Attacks

The recent terror attacks in London that caused tens of deaths and hundreds of injuries created a deep sorrow and repulsion both among the religious people and the whole Turkish community.

The terrorists committing the attacks by disregarding the human values will deserve nothing but only the contempt of people with common sense from different languages and religions.

As we express in every case, no matter what the purpose of the attacks is and who their supporters are, the terrorists will be punished by the Almighty Allah with His impeccable justice, who declares killing one innocent is equal to killing the whole humanity.

I condemn the attacks and share the grief of British people.

I pray to Allah for granting peace and tranquility to the whole humanity.

Prof.Dr. Ali BARDAKOĞLU
President of Religious Affairs
