Shock in Carinthia: terrorist attack shakes Villach and Islam community

in Villach, Carinthia, came to light on Monday that shook the region and beyond. Adem Pehlic, a further reading from the Islamic Community, expressed his deep condolence for the families and the entire population affected by this incident in an interview with ORF Carinthia. "We are all equally shocked," said Pehlic and pointed out that such atrocities in Carinthia are outrageous and are "not to justify", not even with religion. This as an explanation for the deeds there is no room in Islam, which, as Pehlic emphasizes, is connected to peace and love.

The cruel situation that burdens the trust between the faith communities is clearly convicted by the Islamic Federation. These organizations emphasize that violence and radicalized views in Islam have no place and passionately speak against terrorism and the extremism linked to it. Already 35,000 Muslims live in Carinthia, and Pehlic made it clear that their message to the public emphasizes the peacefulness of Islam. This prompted the community to work preventively against radicalization, even if they acknowledge that not everyone can be achieved. "We try to promote the values of peaceful coexistence in dialogue," explains Pehlic and appeals to society, not to condemn all Muslims based on the deeds of individuals, as already reported by Islam-mapskarte

A uniform call to solidarity in the cold of the shock - a moment when the voice of peace and reason must be heard in the middle of horror. While society mourns the hope of a closed, respectful community that counteracts fear and suspicion. In an unprecedented confession it became clear that it is important to get together without prejudices and in the middle of difficulties in order to resolve the true values of Islam and living together, as orf Carinthia reported.
