The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the terrorist attacks in Kuwait, Tunisia and France. OIC Secretary General Iyad Madani said such terrorist acts in blessed month of Ramadan cannot be done by a Muslim, and that the terrorist group that committed this act of evil, has nothing to do with any religion. General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars (CSS) strongly condemned the heinous terrorist attacks. It stressed these terrorist attacks violate all sanctities of religion, human values. The perpetrators or those who support them have committed great sins according to the consensus of Muslim scholars. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said those “responsible for such appalling acts of violence must be swiftly brought to justice” and Interpol offered its help to all three nations. “The members of the Security Council underlined the need to bring perpetrators of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice,” the 15-member body said in a statement. “Far from weakening the international community's resolve to fight the scourge of terrorism, these heinous attacks will only strengthen the commitment of the United Nations to help defeat those bent on murder, destruction and the annihilation of human development and culture,” UN spokesman Farhan Haq said.
