Al-Azhar strongly condemns the horrific plowing into a market in Magdeburg, Germany, resulting in 2 fatalities and dozens of injuries. Al-Azhar emphasizes that attacking and terrorizing innocent people, regardless of their religion or beliefs, is a heinous crime that defies all religious teachings, moral values, and human ethics. These principles are established to safeguard lives and promote coexistence among humanity. This attack underscores the urgent need for concerted international efforts to eliminate extremist ideologies at their roots and to bolster initiatives aimed at promoting the values of tolerance, peace, and human fraternity.
Al-Azhar also extends its deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathy to the families of the victims and wishes a swift recovery to the injured.
