Its a dark and shameful day not only for this unfortunate nation of ours but all the Muslim Umma around the globe.
This is not, was not a religious act as no religion in the world preaches vile inhuman acts of terror such as this. Islam is a way of peace, although greatly mis interpreted today, mainly due to ignorance and lack of intelligent understanding of the Quran.
These youngsters were only the pawn in a very deep ceded conspiracy running over a multi national scenario. The problem can only be solved if we can fathom out the kings queens and ministers behind it all.
My deepest condolences for the departed souls and their families, may (Surely) Allah SWT will grant them the highest recognition for their pains
Ameen
