Alnor Senter
condemns the suicide attack that hit Stockholm last Saturday.
There was a man who had attached a bomb on his body, and the police have
a theory that the man was heading towards a populous place in Sweden's
capital to carry out a suicide attack. Just before the bomb exploded
news agency TT received an e-mail where it was referred to the war in
Afghanistan and cartoonist Lars Vilks.
Such attack is clearly contrary to the teachings of Islam, and can never
be accepted. Alnor encourages all Muslims in Norway to be aware to
prevent something similar from happening in Norway, which would be of
incalculable damage to us all. We also call on all responsible people
not to use this terrible incident to whip up feeling against Muslims in
Norway or other countries. Muslims reject such actions, but
unfortunately there are extremists in all societies, and Islam can not
be blamed for individual actions. This is a crime that is forbidden in
Islam and which Muslims and non-Muslims can safely say that we have the
same understanding about.
