Muslim religious leaders launch European tour in condemnation of terrorism
Scores of Muslim religious leaders have started a tour of the sites of recent terrorist attacks that hit Europe to remember the victims and denounce violence.
The tour kicked off on Saturday with clerics from several countries, including France, Belgium, Britain and Tunisia, boarding a bus on the famous Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris, where French policeman Xavier Jugele was shot dead in April.
Representatives of other religious communities also took part in the initiative.
The tour will include several stops, including Brussels, Nice and Berlin, where organizers say they hope to meet Chancellor Angela Merkel.
They are expected to conclude the tour and return to Paris on July 14, on the first anniversary of the Nice attack.
The Daesh terrorist group claimed responsibility for the Nice truck attack, which killed 86 people, who were watching a fireworks display on Bastille Day, on July 14, 2016. Daesh also claimed another truck attack on a crowded market in Berlin, which left at least 12 people dead in December last year.
