The Muslim Council of Elders, chaired by Grand Imam of Al-Azhar Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, on Monday strongly condemned the deadly terrorist attack on a Catholic church in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which left several civilians dead and many others wounded.
In an official statement, the Council denounced the assault as a "heinous and cowardly act" and described the targeting of places of worship as a “horrific crime that contradicts the teachings of all religions and violates universal human, moral, and spiritual values.”
The Council extended its heartfelt condolences to the government and people of Congo, as well as to the families of the victims, offering prayers for the recovery of those injured and for strength and solace to the bereaved.
“This attack is a painful reminder of the urgent need for global unity against terrorism in all its forms,” the statement added.
The incident marks another tragic blow to the ongoing struggle for peace and security in the central African nation.
