Senseless Acts of Terror Are against Islam: Singapore Minister

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Singapore’s Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs expressed his shock and sadness over the recent bomb blasts in Malaysia, Bangladesh, Turkey, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday (Jul 5), Yaacob Ibrahim called the attacks "senseless".

He wrote: "The blast in the holy city of Medina is near the Prophet’s (PBUH) Mosque! These senseless acts of terror ignores the sanctity of human life, regardless of faith."

Yaacob, who is also the Minister for Communications and Information, condemned the "barbaric acts” and said they do not represent Muslims around the world.

"The attacks on Muslim majority cities and countries, claiming lives of Muslims during the Holy month of Ramadan, confirm that their heinous acts are against Islam," he added.
