The fatal stabbing attack recently recorded in the France city of Nice has been condemned by world leaders who have all demanded that terrorists attacks must stop immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the first to condemn it was Turkey, embroiled in a row with France<\/a> over the publication of cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that have triggered a wave of attacks against French people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe strongly condemn the attack committed today inside the Notre-Dame church in Nice,\u201d a Turkish foreign ministry statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US President, Donald Trump, expressed his sadness over the incident and equally condemned the attack, while UN chief Antonio Guterres, as well as European, Arab and Israeli leaders also expressed their displeasure at the slew of attacks targeted at French nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur hearts are with the people of France. America stands with our oldest Ally in this fight,\u201d Trump tweeted. \u201cThese Radical Islamic terrorist attacks must stop immediately. No country, France or otherwise can long put up with it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German Chancellor Angela Merkel was \u201cdeeply shaken by the brutal murders\u201d and said \u201cmy thoughts are with the relatives of those murdered and injured. Germany stands with France at this difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a statement issued later by EU Council chief Charles Michel, the 27 leaders expressed solidarity with France but made no reference to the controversy over cartoons mocking the Prophet Mohammed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte condemned a \u201ccowardly attack\u201d and said: \u201cOur convictions are stronger than fanaticism, hatred and terror. We embrace the families of the victims and our French brothers. We are united!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, French Muslims reacted with horror at Thursday\u2019s killing of three citizens in the seaside town of Nice, saying the crime is representative of neither their faith nor values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yasser Louati, a French civil rights activist, said perpetrators of such crimes make no distinction between Muslims and Christians and subscribed to an ideology alien to Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA woman was beheaded inside a church, this means these people have nothing to do with the sacred. There are no moral boundaries for them,\u201d Louati told Al Jazeera<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
