International Abrahamic Forum (IAF) on the terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand

"We express our deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and wounded, and our deepest solidarity with Muslims throughout the world in this terrible hour..."

"We condemn the widespread and worldwide growth of intolerance, racism, xenophobia, Islamophobia, Antisemitism and terrorism.

We call for greater efforts by government and civil organizations everywhere to teach and promote appreciation of our common humanity.

Events such as this call on people of all faiths and no faiths to redouble our public, vocal opposition to all forms of bigotry and prejudice, to insist that leaders promote the common good of everyone, and to recommit ourselves to practising dialogue on all levels."
