Al Azhar condemns terrorist attacks in Casablanca and Riyadh

Al Azhar mosque condemned Monday the terrorist attacks that rocked Casablanca and Riyadh as "savage and blind attacks that terrified the whole Moslem world."

Al Azhar's committee of theological research said in a release published at the end of a meeting chaired by the imam of Al Azhar, these attacks are "a crystal clear violation to numerous Islamic principles." The religious institutions also rejected the pretext of frustration and injustice feelings among Moslems to justify such attacks.
