Muslims in the Philippines are joining the global outcry against the attacks on Friday that terrorized and hit across Paris, France.
Mohagher Iqbal, chief negotiator of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), sent a copy of the MILF’s official statement on the terror the gripped the French capital that killed 129 people and injured 352 others across as news reports said.
“We are deeply saddened by today’s tragic events in Paris, France, These blind, indiscriminate acts of violence deserve nothing but convention,” the MILF said.
The Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) said the attacks are “stupid and crazy.”
MNLF senior leader Abdul Sahrin said the attackers—whether as members of or inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)—“have twisted ideology which they masquerade to have Islamic content.”
”ISIS does not and will never represent Islam and Muslims. They twist and misrepresent the teachings of Islam to suit their evil agenda,” said Sahrin. “They will go to hell.”
Ustadhz Esmael Ebrahim, commissioner of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos representing the Moro ulama (religious leaders) sector, said violence against innocent civilians wherever committed is against the teachings of Islam.
“The Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Allaihi Wassalam forbid violence against civilians and other non-combatants in times of peace or in war,” Ebrahim, an official of the National Ulama Conference of the Philippines said.
Violence anywhere in the world, including in the Philippines, in Mindanao, should be a signal to everybody to muster stronger resolve to work as ever for peace, harmony, and understanding, he said.
In the wake of the terror in Paris, the MILF reaffirmed its rejection of violence.
“This is unacceptable. The MILF rejects acts of terror against humanity and all peace-loving peoples,” the group added.
At the same time, the MILF also condemned in the “same strong terms the violence against civilians in Palestine, in Myanmar, and elsewhere in the world.”
The MILF said its thoughts are with the victims and their families, expressing hope that the resolve to achieve peace around the world would gain strength.
Ebrahim said, “Let us not condemn the whole 1.6-billion Muslim world for the violent acts of a few Muslims, in the same vein that violent acts of a few Christians or Jews or Buddhists are not attributed to Christianity, Judaism, or Buddhism.”
