The Muslim World League condemns the attacks in New Zealand's mosques that has 
claimed the lives of dozens of innocent worshipers and left many others 
seriously wounded. The Muslim World League also expresses its deep grief and 
condolences for the families, friends and communities of the victims. 

Terrorist attacks against people of faith are one of the most inhumane and evil 
forms of incitement and hatred. The barbarity, hatred and ill will of this 
extremist terrorist act parallels the violent acts of Al-Qaeda and Daesh.

In the face of such evil, the global community can answer only with the values 
of love, harmony and peace.

To address the scourge extremism and Islamophobia, we need governments and 
faith organizations around the world to work together to encourage religious 
tolerance and understanding and prevent all forms of incitement and hatred, 
including all types of hatred leveled against any religion or ethnicity. 

Without preventive action seeking to foster human and moral values in our 
younger generations, we risk further cycles of violence. The Muslim World 
League will work to increase its efforts to work with multi-faith groups in 
order to create initiatives to promote greater understanding and tolerance.

The Muslim World League plans to send a delegation to New Zealand to offer its 
condolences on behalf of HE Dr. Alissa and provide support to the impacted 
families and communities.
