(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Muslim Council of Britain condemned bomb attacks on three Nigerian churches during X-Mass ceremony, saying the attackers do not represent true Islam.
The assaults are reported to have been carried out by a group calling themselves 'Boko Haram'.
"There is nothing in our faith of Islam that can condone attacks on places of worship or on Christians as we have seen today,” Farooq Murad, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain said.
He underlined,” The attacks take place at the most important celebrations for Christians, it is offensive and Muslims condemn such actions. “
“It threatens the fragile state of relations between Muslims and Christians, which has been peaceful in the past,” Murad expressed.
“Sectarian attacks as we have seen in Nigeria and in Iraq last week are reprehensible -- people who claim to carry out such carnage in the name of Islam are completely mistaken and are as much enemy of Muslims as anyone else," Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain pointed up.
The radical group has been blamed for dozens of bombings and shootings in the north, and has claimed responsibility for two bombings in Abuja this year.
