Makkah-based Muslim World League has condemned the terrorist attack that took place inside a church in the Egyptian Nile Delta City of Tanta, north of Cairo, on Sunday, terming it as a heinous crime against all Egyptians. In a statement, the Secretary General of MWL Sheikh Dr. Mohammed bin Adbulkareem Al-isa said attacks against places of worship go against the authentic Islamic religion and its teachings of tolerance, but fail to undermine the unity of the Egyptian people. Al-Isa expressed full confidence in the capability of Egyptian security forces to chase the criminals and bring them to justice. He said MWL always calls for underscoring the importance of illuminating people and societies against the dangers of terrorism and deviant thought, offering condolence to the Egyptian government, families of the deceased wishing the injured quick recovery.
