Ahmadiyya Muslim community from all over the world is with the peaceful people of France to share their pain and grieve. Those who lost their lives are in our thoughts and prayers. Such barbaric attack is an attack on the entire humanity rather than on France only. Any attempt to justify such killing of innocent lives is absolutely a wrong approach.

Khalifa of Islam & the Head of the Worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, His Holiness, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has condemned attacks in Paris in open words. Islam is a religion of peace and emphasizes on the sacredness of human lives. The Holy Quran says that killing even one innocent person is same as to kill all of mankind.
