"We condemn all acts of terror and the ideology behind them.

"Such acts are not representative of Islam or Muslims as a whole.

"One intention of such acts is to cause division; such divisions must not be allowed to prevail.

"We believe that we must all come together, as people of faith or of no faith, to stand united against anger, hatred and violence.

"We remain committed to building good relationships between people of all faiths or of no faith, to better serve our community."
