As Salaamu Alaykum – Peace be upon you
I write on behalf of The World Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna-Asheri Muslim
Communities, an umbrella organisation whose regional members represent our
worldwide community. This includes, The Council of European Jamaats who are our
European Member Federation which has two members in Paris: Mehfil-e-Zainab (Paris
North Jamaat) and Muhamadi Imambara A.C.C.I.J (Paris South Jamaat).
Our Community in Europe and worldwide is deeply saddened by the devastation
wreaked by fire on Notre Dame Cathedral this Easter week. We share the anguish of
the people of France and around the world touched by this disaster, and our thoughts
will be with you throughout the reconstruction of this historic place of worship and
national monument. In the spirit of interfaith understanding so dear to us all, we stand
with you.
With warm regards
Anwarali Dharamsi
President
