Nagasaki, Qana, Sabra, Shatila, Deir Yassin, Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq orin New York and Washington. (Islamic Republic News Agency, September16, 2001.

Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar), Turkey:"Islam does not encourage any kind of terrorism; in fact, it denouncesit. Those who use terrorism in the name of Islam, in fact, have noother faculty except ignorance and hatred."

Shaikh Muhammad Yusuf Islahi, U.S:The sudden barbaric attack on innocent citizens living in peace isextremely distressing and deplorable. Every gentle human heart goesout to the victims of this attack and as humans we are ashamed at thebarbarism perpetrated by a few people. Islam, which is a religion ofpeace and tolerance, condemns this act and sees this is as a woundingscar on the face of humanity. I appeal to Muslims to strongly condemnthis act, express unity with the victims' relatives, donate blood,money and do whatever it takes to help the affected people.

Abdal-Hakim Murad, Britain:

Targeting civilians is a negation of every possible school of SunniIslam. Suicide bombing is so foreign to the Qur'anic ethos that theProphet Samson is entirely absent from our scriptures. ("The HijackersWere Not Muslims After All: Recapturing Islam From the Terrorists,"

Hamza Yusuf, U.S:Religious zealots of any creed are defeated people who lash out indesperation, and they often do horrific things. And if these people[who committed murder on September 11] indeed are Arabs or Muslims,they're obviously very sick people and I can't even look at it inreligious terms. It's politics, tragic politics. There's no Islamic

justification for any of it. ... You can't kill innocent people.There's no Islamic declaration of war against the United States. I

think every Muslim country except Afghanistan has an embassy in thiscountry. And in Islam, a country where you have embassies is notconsidered a belligerent country. In Islam, the only wars that arepermitted are between armies and they should engage on battlefieldsand engage nobly. The Prophet Muhammad said, "Do not kill women orchildren or non-combatants and do not kill old people or religiouspeople,'' and he mentioned priests, nuns and rabbis. And he said, "Donot cut down fruit-bearing trees and do not poison the wells of yourenemies.'' The Hadith, the sayings of the Prophet, say that no one canpunish with fire except the lord of fire. It's prohibited to burnanyone in Islam as a punishment. No one can grant these attackers anylegitimacy. It was evil. (San Jose Mercury News, September 15, 2001. )

Mufti Nizamuddin Shamzai, Pakistan:It is wrong to kill innocent people. It is also wrong to praise thosewho kill innocent people. (Cited in the New York Times, September 28,2001.)

King Abdullah II, Jordan:What these people stand for is completely against all the principlesthat Arab Muslims believe in. (cited in the Middle East Times,September 28, 2001.)
