”Whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely”. This speech is from the Holy Quran. The terroristic actions that happened in Brussels and other countries
are condemned by all Muslims everywhere as they are not our moral or traditions neither our Islam. There is no justification for killing, blasting, threatening or terrorizing innocent peaceful people in the world.
We as immigrants look at these actions from different angles. One is that we really feel terribly sorry and sad for such a terror event to happen in a peaceful and safe place.
The other point is that the reactions towards such actions may be taken against immigrants who has suffered a lot in their home countries and fled to a safe place to breathe the air of life.
Also, we should stand together to stop such horrible actions of occurring either in this region and other part of the world. Finally, we condemn this action, pray for all affected people and their family, and hope to never hear of any more bad news that happened on the globe.
