AFIC Stands with the Bondi Community After Tragic Shooting Incident15/12/2025
(See translation in Arabic section)
Sydney-Middle East Times Int'l: The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils expresses deep sorrow and heartfelt support for all those affected by the tragic shooting incident at Bondi Beach today.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, friends, and all members of the community who have been shaken by this senseless act of violence. In a moment like this, we stand united with all people of Sydney, and indeed all Australians, in grieving this incomprehensible loss.
No one should ever live in fear of such horrific violence in a public space. Every person has the right to safety, security, and peace and we condemn, in the strongest terms, any act that shatters that fundamental right.
AFIC also acknowledges the tireless work of emergency services, medical responders, and law enforcement agencies in responding to this crisis.
In the face of such tragedy, we join with the broader community in extending compassion, care, and solidarity to those in need. There is no room in our society for violence that takes innocent lives or inflicts deep trauma. We pray for healing, comfort, and strength for all affected.
Dr Rateb Jneid
