iCAN's Media Statement regarding the cowardly terrorist attack on mosques in New Zealand

Media Release:
Islamic Circle of Australia and New Zealand strongly condemns the terrorist attack on Christchurch Mosque which resulted in death of a number of innocent worshipers. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and the broader community members who are in deep sorrow because of this cowardly action of a terrorist.
Terrorist acts like this demand detailed investigation and strong action from the police department, relevant investigation agencies and the government. The root-causes of such incidents are required to be identified and eliminated. The increasing Islamophobia in Australia and New Zealand is one of the major concerns and needs to be tackled at the highest level.
We urge all news agencies and relevant government departments to play their role in community education and eradicating hate-motivated crime based on difference of religion, race and culture. Anti-Muslim sentiments that lead to such incidents are required to be eliminated from their roots. We request all the Australian and New Zealand citizens to defeat the hate by acting as one and spreading peace.
In the end, we again express our deep sorrow for the victims. May Allah swt grant them highest place in paradise.
