YMMA condemns anti-Islam film

The National Council of Young Men’s Muslim Associations of Sri Lanka in a press release has most vehemently condemned the film titled “Innocence of Muslims”, which is blasphemous and sacrilegious to the noble soul of Holy Prophet Muhammed (PBUH).

The release adds: “The National Council YMMA repudiates any manifestation of scorn for beliefs or lack of respect for what is sacred to Muslims. They further condemn desecration and slander directed at Islam and describing Muslims as uncivilized barbarians namely in the form of the anti-Muslim film Innocence of Muslims and this no doubt incites hatred. The National YMMA also called for an end to prejudice and violence against followers of Islam so that this world will be a saner place to live in.”

“In a Press Statement, its National President M.M. Mohamed, while denouncing this dastardly act, invoked the gravest punishment on the perpetrators of this wilful act and to this heinous crime against the impeccable character of the Holy Prophet.” He also expressed his Organization’s solidarity with the fellow Muslims, in the face of the backlash against the movie.
