World's Response To Boston Bombing.

[Shadowstar1922]

After browsing zeh web and stuff, I've come up with quotes from political leaders from countries of the world to post down here. Others are basic summaries.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran, which follows the logic of Islam, is opposed to any bombings and killings of innocent people.What kind of logic is this that if children and women are killed by Americans in Afghanistan and Pakistan and by U.S.-backed terrorists in Iraq and Syria is not a problem, but if a bombing happens in the U.S. or another Western country, the whole world should pay the cost?” -Ayatollah Ali Khamenei-

"The bombings in Boston are shocking, cowardly and horrific, and the thoughts of all Londoners this morning will be with the victims. Boston is a proud City built on history, tradition and a real sense of community. These attacks were aimed at its core, at innocent men, women and children enjoying a Spring day out at a major sporting event. We do have robust security measures in place for Sunday's London Marathon, but given events in Boston it's only prudent for the police and the organisers of Sunday's race to re-examine those security arrangements." - Mayor Boris Johnson of London, United Kingdom-

"Having suffered from terrorist attacks and civilian casualties for years, our people feel better the pain and suffering arising from such incidents." Karzai offered his condolences and sympathy "to the families of the victims and the people of the United States of America." - President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan

"Australia unreservedly condemns this brutal and senseless attack on what is a great event known around the world - one people participate in to have fun as their families and friends watch on." -Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia.

"Any attempt to make a link between Chechnya and the Tsarnaevs, if they are guilty, is in vain. They grew up in the U.S., their views and beliefs were formed there. The roots of evil must be searched for in America. The whole world must battle with terrorism. We know this better than anyone. We wish recover to all the victims and share Americans' feeling of sorrow." - Ramzan Kadyrov, Chechen Republic

Vladimir Putin, Prime Minister of Russia, as well as Manmohan Singh, PM of India, offered assistance of investigating the bombing.

Local Muslim Reaction:

The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) issued a statement condemning the blast.

"This is a horrible crime, and we call on all of us as Americans to work together to bring those responsible to justice," it said.

To attack people on what is supposed to be a day of jubilation is criminal and inexcusable, the council said.

"This is a time for us to show resilience and calmness, as we come together to help the American public recover from this heinous act," said Salam Al-Marayati, MPAC president.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, also condemned the bomb attacks.

"American Muslims, like Americans of all backgrounds, condemn in the strongest possible terms today's cowardly bomb attack on participants and spectators of the Boston Marathon," said its national executive director Nihad Awad.

"We urge people of all faiths to pray for the victims and their loved ones and for the speedy recovery of those injured. We also call for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators," he said. ~Direct text, from http://www.islamicity.com/articles/Arti ... C1304-5425

yep... I see it as tragic, but things need to be put in perspective. Much worse is happening every day in Iraq... which was 'freed' by the US invasion 10 years ago. Not to mention numerous other places that were also 'freed' by the US.

Mhm. Every time I bring that up, people get mad at me and say I'm sponsoring Terrorism, or I'm sympathizing with the terrorists.

On the day the Boston Bombing happen, either a day or two after or before, a US Drone Strike in Pakistan killed 10 children and 4 women and left others wounded One of the first drone strikes ever conducted by the US was in Yemen, and killed 26 children and 14 women, and I believe 2 other men. Left a lot injured. And that is not terrorism? Drone strikes end up killing innocent people, and only have about a 2% succession rate, and that isn't terrorism?

That pisses me off the most. It's like that US President, Richard Nixon was it? When he said, "If the President does it, it is not illegal." Replace President with World Powers .-.

people in the US need to think about life if they had say... hmmm 20 or 30 boston bombings a day. Then they would know what life is like in countries affected by the US.

regardless, it is all a tragedy - whereever it happens.
