Solidarity expressed by religious leaders following the New Zealand mosque attacks
There has been an outpouring of love and support for the Islamic community in Ireland, following the killings in two mosques in New Zealand a week ago, the chairman of the Irish Muslim Peace and Integration Council, Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri has said.
But he said the attacker, in attempting to spread extremism and hatred had “failed, failed miserably”. He said the Jewish core belief was that all people would ultimately come together to overcome hatred.The Church of Ireland Archbishop of Dublin Dr Michael Jackson said his priority was “to express sympathy, sadness and solidarity”.
Archbishop Jackson warned however that proposed church-State dialogue promised by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar may be “ insufficient, partial and inadequate in contemporary Ireland”.
