His Eminence Al Sayyed Ali El-Amine, member of the Muslim Council of Elders, has condemned the heinous crime which took place in the city of Christchurch in New Zealand on Friday and which led to the murder of tens of worshipers at two separate mosques in the city. His Eminence said, “This heinous crime which took place in New Zealand is an undisputed act of terror which is deeply condemned. The international community must unite to counter this evil threat which targets peaceful coexistence between people."

El Amine added, “Terrorism does not belong to the East or West but is the work of evil fanatics who are universally rejected.”

His Eminence concluded by sending his utmost condolences to the victims of the attack and the people of New Zealand during this difficult period.
