The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, umbrella body of Indian Muslim organisations, on 23 September condemned the terrorist attacks in Peshawar and Nairobi.
Dr Zafarul-Islam Khan, President of AIMMM, said in a statement that the terrorist attacks on innocents in a church in Peshawar and a commercial mall in Nairobi are worst examples of anti-Islamic behaviour which deserve to be condemned and resisted by all possible means.
“These crimes by fringe groups working at the behest of powers in their respective regions and beyond, are simple terror which in no way is sanctioned by Islam or has the consent of Muslims anywhere in the world,” he said.
Dr Khan said: “The only legitimate Jihad is against invading and occupying armies while attacking innocent civilians is a plain and simple criminal act against Islam and humanity.”
