  1. Terrorists!
    It is not Islam to kill people. It is the lack of true Islamic Knowledge and spirit that let’s you do it.
    If you were true Muslims and followers of Hadhrat Muhammad peace be upon him, you would never be doing such shameful acts on the name of Islam.
    Islam taught by the messenger of Allah, the Holy Prophet peace be upon him is all about LOVE FOR ALL and HATRED FOR NONE.Only If you knew.

    PLEASE STOP KILLING PEOPLE IN THE NAME OF ISLAM.
    ISLAM means PEACE. Ahmadiyyat is the true Islam.

  2. My suggestion

    All Islamic clerics have to forbid all Muslim to use the name “ISLAM”—in order people do not miuse and destroy the image of Islam as we see every where.

    Some clerics use the name of Islam or Muslim such as:
    islamic army, Islamic state. Islami cyber— islamic bank— islamic dress— islamic food— islamic Party—etc etc

    What do you think ?

    All ❤️
