According to a statement signed by it Public Affairs Secretary, Alhaji Banju Busari, the group described
the attack as heartless and inhuman.
The terrorist act was heartless, inhuman and devastating to Muslims worldwide, heinously carried out when Muslims, young, old, women, men and their kids were waiting for jumaat service.
“This dastardly act has confirmed the position of NASFAT that terrorism should not be given colouration in terms of religion, race or creed.
There should be a consensus that terrorism is a global social challenge and it will remain unfair and unjust to blame it on any particular religion or faith.
“We feel so anguished that at a time when global peace efforts are gaining ascendancy across boundaries and our hope that finally terrorism is on the decline, now the killings at Christchurch mosque has proved to be a big setback. NASFAT however, called on nations and world communities to regard terrorists as agents of death and should be treated with appropriate punishment within the confines of the law. It also stated that concerted efforts must be made to address with urgency, critical issues that promote terrorism under the guise of xenophobia or religion or other factors.
