Canadian Muslims condemn London terror bombs

More than 120 Islamic religious leaders from across Canada issued a declaration yesterday denouncing acts of terrorism as a perversion of their faith.

“Anyone who claims to be a Muslim and participates in any way in the taking of innocent life is betraying the very spirit and letter of Islam,” said the statement, which was read aloud by Imam Ahmad Kutty of the Islamic Institute of Toronto after midday prayers at a Toronto mosque.
