ReplyDeleteIt's so sad for those who villify Islam and its adherents.. Muslims don't bother much about followers of other faith..There must be deep reason for such villification and hate by non-Muslims against Islam: that Islam holds the Truth and mankind will surely understand and hold on to Truth! And this is happening today!!
ReplyDeleteSALUTE to Hadi. I am surprised that how could RUSHDIE BASTERED COULD SURVIVED 42 YEARS AFTER HIS BLASPEMIOUS PUBLICATIONS. O ALMIGHTY ALLAH, GIVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEND HIM IN HELL.
