the people of the Middle East has increased ten-fold; while using religion in this abhorrent way has become and acceptable means for terrorists and tyrants to seek power.
The Iran National Council would like to remind all the freedom loving and peace-seekers of the region and the international community at large, that the only way out of the current dismal situation in the Middle East, is to support and strengthen those forces who believe in the democratic and secular process. Without the unification and support of the people that believe in the expansion of civil society, and of the political groups and activists who believe in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, democracy and secularism, the chances of overcoming this violent scourge of terrorism will continue to diminish.
Once again, we would like to extend our sympathies and commiserations to the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.
