Muslim Media Forum decries terror attacks
View(s):The Sri Lanka Muslim Media Forum has condemned the suicide attacks targeting three Catholic churches and star hotels on Easter Sunday
“The SLMMF expresses its deepest condolences and sympathy for the families of the brotherly Catholic community who have lost their near and dear ones in these brutal and horrific attacks that had caused damage to an unthinkable proportion,” it said.
The SLMMF said it urges the government to take all necessary action to bring the culprits and their partners before the law and give them the maximum punishment.
In a message to Muslim parents, the Forum said, “Parents should pay more attention to their children’s behavioral patterns. Parents are obliged to keep track of whom they are connected to, where they are going and what they are talking about. Muslim civil society, too, has the responsibility to prevent the youth from falling prey to terrorist thoughts and networks,” the SLMMF said.
While appreciating most media institutions for acting with responsibility in this crucial juncture, the Forum said it regretted the unethical practices of certain sections of the media.
