" He joined the "people of conscience" from around the world calling for the perpetrators to cease their "cruel and inhuman acts immediately." "Any form of attack, suppression or persecution of minorities or innocent civilians is a act that contradicts the principles of the Qur'an and the tradition of our Prophet, on him be peace and blessings, "said Gülen. He noted that terrorists are either "completely ignorant" of the spirit of Islam and its messenger, or their actions are designed to serve their own interests or those of their "political masters." "Whatever, their actions are those of a terrorist group and must be labeled as such and be brought to justice, "he added.

"to think or act otherwise is nothing Machiavellian," he said. the scientist has sent condolences to the families and friends of the deceased in Iraq and Syria, and to the family and friends of the killed journalist James Foley.
