As an association we advocate for the peaceful coexistence of all nations and religions.

Our warmest sympathy and best wishes goes out to the people of New Zealand after the horrible massacre in the Mosques. At least 49 people have so senselessly died, with so many more seriously injured.

Innocent people being murdered as they worship is horrific and heartbreaking. Our thoughts and solidarity are with New Zealand's Muslim community and all of its people on this dark day.

We're deeply shocked by the news and wished the injured a speedy and full recovery.

Our thoughts are also with the emergency services and everyone who is assisting in the rescue efforts.
