Two Muslim groups in Sri Lanka are condemning the attacks on churches and hotels in the country on Easter Sunday that killed more than 200 people.
The Muslim Council of Sri Lanka says it mourns the loss of innocent people in the blasts by extremists who seek to divide religious and ethnic groups.
The All Ceylon Jammiyyathul Ulama, a body of Muslim clerics, says targeting Christian places of worship cannot be accepted.
Muslims make up about 10% of Sri Lanka's population of 23 million.
No one has claimed responsibility for what Sri Lankan officials have described as a terrorist attack by religious extremists.
Meanwhile, the United Nations secretary-general says he is "outraged by the terrorist attacks" in Sri Lanka.
A statement by the spokesman for António Guterres notes the "sanctity of all places of worship" and hopes the perpetrators will be quickly brought to justice.
He also commends the unity of the Sri Lankan people after the attacks.
As the casualty numbers continued to rise, authorities confirmed the deaths of a number of foreigners in Sunday's bombings: They include three Indians, one Portuguese national, two Turkish nationals, three British nationals and two holding U.S. and British citizenship.
A Dutch national and a Chinese national also have been reported among the victims.
A statement from the Sri Lankan Foreign Ministry also said nine foreigners were reported missing.
