The Muslim Council of Britain today spoke out against the terrorist attack that took place at Istanbul’s airport yesterday, 28 June. Some 38 people have lost their lives.
Dr Shuja Shafi, Secretary General of the MCB said: “I condemn the terrorist attack that has taken place in Istanbul yesterday. We understand from the Turkish authorities that this attack may have been carried out by Daesh. That this took place in the holy month of Ramadan only underscores that the perpetrators have no moral compass, their actions are far from the values of our great religion of Islam. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims, and I hope those injured make a speedy recovery. Istanbul is a great city with many visitors from around the world, including Britain. Even though Turkey has endured many terrorist attacks, I pray that the country returns to peace so that it can be experienced by many more.”
