The OIC Calls for Caution before Passing Judgment over the Incident in Florida or Associating it with Political Agendas

Date: 13/06/2016

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) cautioned against rush to judgment, political campaigning and self-serving agendas in regard to the bloody massacre that took place in Florida in the United States of America.

The OIC stressed the misgivings of hasty judgment, media aggrandizement and Islamophopic discourse; emphasizing the need to wait for full official investigation to take place and for the motivations and causes of the massacre to be revealed. The massacre, as terrible as it is, must not be taken out of its context as a domestic American case.

The OIC also expressed its condolences and deepest sympathy with the families of the victims of this horrible act.

The OIC reiterated its firm and clear position on terrorism as a phenomenon seeking to destroy the very spirit of human society.

The OIC emphasized that it has always maintained its principled position based on the teachings of Islam; a religion of peace and tolerance that considers terrorism -in all its forms and manifestations- a crime against humanity.
