(Worksheet) Condemnation Of The 2016 Attack In Brussels

Read the following excerpt carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Although this incident occurred several years ago, the strong condemnation expressed by the People of the Sunnah at that time serves as a poignant reminder of the true Islamic values that we hold dear. Any opposition to these values will not be tolerated. There is no place or justification for terrorism. I urge you to reflect on the Shaykh’s words, which remain as relevant today as they were on that unfortunate day.

Shaykh Usamah al-Uthaybee said, "The people of Islam condemn the extremely wicked terroristic attacks that happened in Belgium (in the) city of Brussels. The people of Islam know their religion came to abolish terrorism and all (other) types of corruption. No one would support (those) extremely wicked terroristic attacks except a criminal."
