may Allah guide us to asirotal mustaqim. ameen ya Rabb. 🙁
This is shameful, killing innocents in the name of Islam. Islam is innocent of these terrorists and they’re condemned with the strongest possible terms.
Why did they do this ???
This very very brutal. We strongly condemn.
this act is condemnable but when terrorist attacks mosques all media stakeholders close their eyes 🙁
Like Mr Raza mentioned we condemn this brutal act but the Muslims attacked and slaughtered everywhere like Burma and India and that’s ok and the media turned on the blind eye like usual
Brother, don’t just be judgmental, how can you assume this is done by Muslims? most probably its done by Indian or American agencies……
