Actor Irrfan Khan, who has been in the news for irking Muslim clerics with his remark on sacrifice of animals during Eid-uz-Zoha, recently condemned the Dhaka terror attack with a strong-worded post on social media.
The actor took to social media to express his condolences to the victims and also expressed his anger towards terrorists for associating the stigma with Islam.
"Bachpan mein mazhab ke baare mein kaha gaya tha ki aapka parausi(neighbor) bhooka ho toh aapko usko shamil kiye bina akele khana nehi khana chahiye," the actor wrote. (When we were children, we were told not to eat without inviting the hungry to share our meal as well..hearing of the Bangladesh terror attacks has led to deep unease in my heart)
The actor went ahead and lashed out on ISIS terrorists for bringing a bad name to the entire community and said that such incidents happen because of a lack of understanding about Quran's true teachings and that in such a situation, Muslims shouldn't stay silent.
He wrote, "Haadsa ek jagah hota hai, badnaam Islaam aur poori duniya ka musalman hota hai. Woh Islaam jiski buniyaad hi aman, reham aur dusro ka dard mehsoos kerna hai". (Terrorists carry out the attack in one place, and Muslims all over the world get a bad name. Peace, mercy and compassion are the main tenants of Islam)
He ended the post by putting forward a thought-provoking question; whether Muslims should stay quiet and let Islam be defamed? Or should they understand and make others understand that maltreating isn't Islam?
