Fr Jacques Hamel's murder in northern France last week - by men claiming allegiance to ISIS - has prompted sorrow and outrage from Muslim leaders around the world.
"This attack in a place of worship and on innocent worshippers in particular demonstrates that there are no boundaries to the depravity of these murderers," wrote Imam Qari Muhammad Asim, senior imam at the Makkah Mosque in Leeds, England.
The knife-yielding attackers slit the throat of 85-year-old Fr Hamel and also injured two others in the church, Eglise St-Etienne, before they were fatally shot by police. Fr Hamel's funeral was held in Rouen cathedral on Tuesday.
