MUMBAI: Muslim scholars and activists have condemned the terror attacks on a church in Peshawar and a mall in Nairobi.

Referring to the acts as being against the principles of Islam, the scholars said that such heinous crimes would only damage the image of Islam and Muslims.

“The terrorist attacks on innocents are worst examples of anti-Islamic behaviour which deserve to be condemned and resisted,” said Dr Zafrul Islam Khan, president of All-India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat , the umbrella body of Indian Muslim organizations .

Islamic scholar Dr Zeenat Shaukat Ali said that the attack in Peshawar cannot be justified by arguing that they were to avenge deaths in drone attacks by America. “Two wrongs do not make a right, ” she added.
