DECLARATION OF THE ISLAMIC-CATHOLIC LIAISON COMMITTEE (12 SEPTEMBER 2001), 13.09.2001
DECLARATION OF THE ISLAMIC-CATHOLIC LIAISON COMMITTEE (12 SEPTEMBER 2001) As Secretaries of the Committee, speaking in its name, we condemn the horrifying acts of terrorism committed 11 September in the USA. We express our great sorrow at the number of victims and we offer our condolences to their families.
Such acts of violence are not the way to bring peace to the world. As religious leaders we wish to emphasise that the true basis for peace is justice and mutual respect. Professor Dr Hamid Ahmad Al-Rifaie
