Mesut Ozil has heavily condemned the recent Islamic terror attacks in France, after three more people were horrifically killed in Nice on Thursday.

The 32-year-old, who is a devout Muslim, took to social media on Friday to publicly state that there is 'no place for terrorism in Islam'.

Ozil tweeted a picture of himself at the holy Islamic site of Mecca along with a quote from the Quran, which read: 'Whosoever kills an innocent human being, it shall be as is he has killed all mankind and whoever saves the life of one, it shall be as if he had saved the life of all mankind.
