The Shura Council has condemned the terror blast, which targeted worshippers in a mosque in Dammam, Saudi Arabia yesterday. The suicide blast claimed the lives of a number of innocent people.

In a statement issued here on Friday, the Shura Council reiterated its full-fledged support to Saudi Arabia and its brotherly people in facing the blatant infringement on their security and the targeting of houses of worship. “Such act is rejected by all human principles, the tolerant precepts of the Islamic religion and the genuine traditions of the people of the region,” it said.

The Council expressed confidence that the dangerous and irresponsible plots targeting innocent people as well as the Saudi people and its unity, stability and security would fail.

The Shura Council called on preachers and scholars to be the “safety valve” of society through guiding people and denouncing the heinous acts of those, who adopted violence and intimidation as means to undermine countries’ security.

“They try to destabilise the countries and put their social fabric and unity at risk. The actions of the saboteurs are treason against the homeland and deviation from the principles of the Islamic Sharia, which stresses the preservation of human life and property,” the statement added.

The Council extended condolences to Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the families of the victims and the brotherly Saudi people.
