BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:10 P.M.) – The Secretary-General of Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, strongly condemned the attack in Nice, stressing that Islam rejects such actions, while it was considered that Muslims could not bear any offense to the Prophet Muhammad.
Sayyed Nasrallah said in a speech delivered on Friday evening on the occasion of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad:
“The incident in Nice is strongly condemned by Muslims from all their different locations in France, Europe and everywhere, and this incident is rejected by Islam and it is not permissible for anyone to regard it as being based on Islam, which forbids killing or harming the innocent.
