The Center of Muslim Communities in the Czech Republic condemned the terrorist attacks in Britain and declared that Czech Muslims want to be involved in the fight against terrorism, CTK quoted Prague Muslims' representative Vladimir Sanka as saying on Thursday.
Czech Muslims have opposed the escalation of tension and the incitement of hatred against Muslims regardless of their morals, real faith and loyalty to the country where they are living, according to a statement released by Czech Muslims.
"Those who consciously seek to kill or wound innocent people are enemies to us all," the statement stressed.
Czech Muslims would welcome possible cooperation with the state authorities that would help them jointly face various emergency situations, the statement added.
"We highly appreciate the constructive approach of the British government to the British citizens of Islamic conviction and its effort to show to the whole world that a religious group cannot be found collectively guilty of individuals' acts," said the statement.
Sanka said the British government can understand it very well that British Muslims are strong opponents to all activities that try to justify terrorist and criminal acts by Islam.
Terrorists' activities stir up "xenophobia towards all peaceful European Muslims and the subsequent isolation of the Muslim community in Europe." Sanka added.
Last Friday, police in London found two cars packed with explosives. The next day, a blazing Jeep Cherokee was rammed at speed into the front of the main terminal building at Glasgow Airport.
