Laiq Ahmed Atif, the leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Malta condemned the attacks.
“Undoubtedly, these are inhuman, heinous and cruel attacks. The Ahmadiyya Community condemns the attacks in strongest terms. The Community also demands that the sate should provide full protection and security to all the citizens living in the country irrespective of their colour, creed, politics and faith; and particularly the rights of all the minorities should be protected and safeguarded fully by the state,” Laiq Ahmed Atif, the community’s president said.
Ahmadiyya said it believed in freedom of faith and that it rejected any kind of violence and force.
“The Community believes in the Quranic Teachings that ‘there is no compulsion in religion’ and condemns the use of force in the matters of faith, or in the name of religion.
“We, the members of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat express our deepest condolences to the victims’ families in this difficult time and pray for the health of those who were injured in these attacks. We believe that there is a crucial need to combat any aggression based on religious or political differences.”
