Husein ef. Kavazović, Reis-ul-ulema, sent a telegram of condolences to the Ambassador of France in Sarajevo in which he strongly condemned the terrorist attack on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
In a telegram, Reis-ul-ulema wrote:
Your Excellency Mrs. Claire Bodonyi, Ambassador of the Republic of France,
On my behalf and on behalf of the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina I express my deepest condolences to the victims’ families, the French people, leadership of the state of France and to you as well. I express my full solidarity with the French people and the government in the fight against terrorist violence and the suffering of innocent people and strongly condemn those who planned and carried out the terror and sow fear.
Freedom of opinion, freedom of media and respect for human dignity are irrevocable values and essential conditions for the progress of mankind, which need to be protected and promoted everywhere. Freedom is the natural tendency of every man and therefore stronger than the fear and indestructible. Therefore, although there are individuals who abuse the freedom in order to impose non-freedom and religion to justify their acts of infidelity, nevertheless those selfish manipulators cannot destroy the value of freedom and nobility of genuine faith.
I hope that the killers and their supporters will as soon as possible be brought to justice and that the French society and the entire freedom-loving world will avoid the trap of stigmatization of innocent people and divisions, as these acts of violence tend to achieve.
