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?
