Hearing about the attack in Niece, where 87 people were killed, a meeting was held at the Kielce Homo Homini monument, where Christians and Muslims, the participants of the meditation retreat, and the representatives of local authorities prayed for the victims of the attack. Shah Hazard Hamid Hasan said he was shocked by the fact that so many people died because of somebody’s madness and wrong deception. This, according to him, shows the degeneration of society and lack of spirituality in human hearts. – Everyone should take care of peace in their own heart. We remain close to the victims’ families’, he said. The Benedictine Father Maximilian Nawara led the prayer for the victims.
