May allah hv mercy with those thug.
this is a very bad development! it does not only indicate how ignorant the perpetrators are, but also how intolerant their faith is with other faiths. I ask the the President to condemn this act publicly and take every action to punish the perpetrators. otherwise, such like issue warrants bleach of peace in the communities. let MAM in conjuction with other organisations condemn it with one voice. if there should be a need to demonstrate, this is the right cause to demonstrate for so that they should know we are angry. May Allah bless you all.
Sad, may the muslims draw strength from this and make du'aa for the culprits to embrace islam and not hate them. Let us have a heart of our beloved prophet (SAW) when he was stoned at Taif, he made du'aa for the culprits and not against them……May Allah give understanding
