"Killing innocent people is not the teaching of the Quran nor can be found in the practice of  our beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad who, taught us humanity and kindness to others,” Imam Nadeem said according to the press release.

"It is a sad commentary on contemporary society that people around the world live in fear of terrorism that is justified in the name of religion, despite the fact than no religion teaches or permits its followers to engage in acts of terrorism," the statement read.

Imam Nadeem added that Islam, like other religions, forbids such heinous practices. "Terrorism and violence has no place in Islam.”

この困難な時期に日本アハマディア・ムスリム協会は日本国民と団結し、過激派グループによるこの卑劣な行為を非難し、また亡くなられた方々のご両親、ご家族には心からお悔やみ申し上げます。
日本に住むムスリム(イスラム教徒)としてアッラー(神様)に、日本国民がテロリストグループによる様々な被害から守られるように願っています。

本来の教えを信じ、平和を愛するムスリムにとって、イスラムの教えとかけ離れた概念を持つこのような過激派グループが行っている行為は決して許されるべき事ではありません。
