The forum issued a press statement on Saturday saying: "These cowardly and
morally condemnable acts targeted killing innocent citizens while performing
their religious rites on Friday."
It also expressed condolences to the
victims' families and wished speedy recovery to the wounded.
In addition, GFM renewed its call
for orchestrating national and international efforts at all levels to counter-terrorism
and extremism, and expose countries that support them, and urged further action
to promote a culture of moderation as a "safety valve" for societies.
The forum also called on various
stakeholders to play a stronger role in warding off terrorism and stopping all
terrorist attempts to enable societies to live in security, peace, and freedom.
