Muslims Aust leader condemns attacks

Muslims Australia president says the people 'of all faiths, or no faith, must stand united against all forms of terror, to confront it and to reject it'.

The president of Muslims Australia has condemned the Brussels terrorist attacks, saying the world must stand united and reject all forms of terror "with one voice".

Hafez Kassem, president of Muslims Australia (AFIC) said he was horrified by the news of the Islamic State attack on innocent travellers at Brussels airport and a metro train.

"I call on the international community, Muslims as well people of other faiths, or no faith, to stand united against all forms of terror, to confront it and to reject it with one voice," Mr Kassem said on Wednesday.

"ISIS has indiscriminately killed Muslims alongside people of other faiths and ideologies.

"We must remain united in the face of this latest attack in Brussels. We must make sure that the terrorists do not divide us."
