  1. TO THE EXTREMIST MUSLIM
    Very sad, and pity where innocent people were murdered by the extremist Muslim.
    I like to ask the extremist Muslim: what are the benefits of killing innocent prople even the children?

    Dont you have love in your heart? Why you kill innocent people? What do you feel when your children are murdered by unknown people? Are you sad ? Or no?

    May Allah guide the killer to the right path or punishem severly, You are All Wiser.
