Casablanca Residents Rally to Honor New Zealand Mosque Attack Victims

Thus, association activists, militants and many citizens from all walks of life responded to the call launched on social networks for a gathering in front of the memorial stele of the victims of the May 16, 2003 attacks in Casablanca.

For the president of the association Marocains Pluriels, Ahmed Ghayet, interviewed by the MAP, the participants "are only the spokespersons, because it is the whole Moroccan society that has expressed its rejection of terrorism and barbarism simply."

"Fifty Muslims, including children, were killed in New Zealand. Elsewhere, Jewish graves are desecrated or Christians are mistreated. In fact, terrorism has no color, no religion, no passport," he said, adding that this action testifies to "our support for the New Zealand people who are facing adversity with great courage and our sympathy for the families of the victims."
