Reaction:

It is very sad that innocent people get killed for nothing and that there are terrorist attacks! The worst thing is that people do this in the name of Islam. Like it is okay, to kill in name of a God! Islam does not say kill innocent people. Islam does not say battle with people who don’t have the same believe, no the islam says life in peace and harmony! The people who think they are doing the right thing for their religion are very ignorant. I would advice them to read the Koran before approving something that islam disapproved!
