The International Union of
Muslim Scholars Condemns the Criminal Act Targeting the Mar Elias Church in
Damascus (Statement)
At a time when Islamic law and all divinely
revealed religions emphasize the sanctity of blood and the protection of human
life, we are deeply shocked by the news of the terrorist bombing that targeted
the Mar Elias Church in the Al-Dweila area of Damascus, Syria — an atrocious
crime that claimed innocent lives and stands in stark opposition to all
religious and human values.
In light of this tragic incident, the
International Union of Muslim Scholars expresses its strong condemnation and
deep denunciation of this cowardly criminal act. The Union affirms that Islam
is completely innocent of such acts that terrorize peaceful civilians, target
places of worship, and spread chaos and destruction.
The Union reiterates its firm stance in
rejecting all forms of terrorism, violence, and extremism — regardless of the
perpetrators or the pretexts under which such acts are committed.
The Union extends its heartfelt condolences
and sympathy to the families of the victims, to the Syrian government, and to
the brotherly Syrian people, praying that Syria and its people be safeguarded
from strife and evil.
