The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe was shocked by the despicable attacks on London today; Thursday 7th of July 2005. Such criminal acts that have claimed the lives of and injured many innocent people will undoubtedly be deplored by all.

 FIOE also emphasises that this heinous attack, which has shook the world, is to be rejected according to all ethical, religious and humanitarian values and must be denounced and condemned in no uncertain terms.

The President and Executive Bureau of FIOE express their heartfelt condolences for those killed in the attacks and to the government and people of the United Kingdom and its prayers that the injured get a full and speedy recovery, and stresses that the thoughts and prayers of British and European Muslims are with them during these difficult times.

Indeed Muslims in Britain as well as across Europe stand shoulder to shoulder with their respective country-folk in order to achieve the best interests of European societies and safeguard their respective safety, security and prosperity, and continue to reject violence and terrorism in all their shapes, forms and manners. Indeed Islam rejects entirely the shedding of innocent people’s blood and considers this a heinous crime, as clearly stated in the Holy Quran and all Islamic scripts.
