Sydney: The ‘Alliance of Australian Muslims’ strongly condemned a recent terror act in Sydney targeting pro-Palestinian supporters. The incident, involving an explosive device found on a car displaying the Palestinian flag, highlights a dangerous rise in Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian sentiments, reminiscent of the Christchurch massacre. The Alliance urges swift action to address the threat and protect citizens from hate-driven violence.
In a public statement released today, the Alliance of Australian Muslims, representing over 200 Muslim organizations across the Australia, expressed strong condemnation of a recent act of terror in Sydney. The incident involved the discovery of an explosive device attached to a car displaying the Palestinian flag last Friday, prompting the deployment of a bomb disposal robot.
This appalling act, characterized as an act of terrorism, targeted individuals expressing concern about the ongoing situation in Palestine, reflecting an attempt to suppress Australian voices. Over the past three months, the Muslim and Palestinian communities have been grieving the loss of life and suffering in Palestine, facing increased forms of Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian sentiment.
The Alliance emphasizes that this incident is not isolated but part of a troubling trend of rising Islamophobia, anti-Muslim, and anti-Palestinian sentiments. It draws parallels with the Christchurch massacre, highlighting the need for increased efforts by the Government and local authorities to protect citizens from hate speech and acts of violence and terror.
The Alliance expresses disappointment over the perceived lack of a timely response from political leaders, police authorities, and media agencies. They call for a swift and thorough investigation into the incident, urging immediate steps to confront and prevent such acts of terror. Additionally, they call on political leaders to unequivocally condemn such acts, emphasizing that they have no place in Australian or any society.
The statement concludes by underlining the urgency of addressing Islamophobia and related prejudices, emphasizing that these dangers cannot be underestimated or ignored. The Alliance seeks a commitment from leaders to safeguard the well-being of all citizens and create an environment free from such acts of violence and discrimination.
