It Warns Against the Rise of “White Terrorism”
Al-Azhar ash-Sharif strongly condemns the terrorist attack that targeted a Muslim worshipper inside the Grand-Combe Municipal Mosque in the Gard region of southeastern France. In this heinous incident, an anti-Islamic terrorist stabbed the worshipper dozens of times with a knife, leading to his tragic death.
It is worth mentioning that al-Azhar warns of the growing activities of “white terrorism” groups in Europe and America. It cautions that these groups hide behind malicious and deceptive slogans such as “white race” and “white nationalism” to justify the perpetration of heinous crimes against Muslims. Al-Azhar also stresses the urgent need to adopt a comprehensive global security strategy to confront this terrorist trend and to halt its threats and crimes, which endanger the lives of Muslims and spread death and destruction.
Moreover, al-Azhar strongly condemns this terrorist act and extends its heartfelt condolences and sincere sympathy to the family of the victim, praying to the Almighty to grant him mercy and forgiveness, and to bestow patience and solace upon his family and loved ones.
