PM Condemns Attacks On Masjids
Press Release Sunday 10 July 2005
Prime Minister Helen Clark today condemned the attacks on masjids in Auckland.
Helen Clark says she is saddened by the attacks.
"New Zealanders across all communities are horrified by the terrorist attacks in
London which are the work of evil people.
"But it is wrong to target the Muslim community here in retaliation. New Zealand's
Muslim community like all New Zealand's communities is overwhelmingly a law abiding
and peaceful community.
"Times like these call for cool heads and for tolerance. The evil acts of some
should not lead to scapegoating of minorities in our communities," Helen Clark
said.
