The French Muslim Council has condemned the attack “with the greatest vigor”.
The council statement says “France has been hit yet another time by a terrorist attack of the utmost severity”, adding that this “odious terrorist act took aim at our country on the very day of its national holiday (Bastille Day), a day which celebrates liberty, equality and fraternity”.
The Council called for French Muslims to pray this Friday “to the memory of the victims of this barbarian attack”.
