It is an overall tragedy of Muslim countries that there is no peace in their part of the world
CHAMANKOT: It was a bloody Friday in Saudi Arabia on May 22 when a bomb blast caused the deaths of dozens of innocent people and injured many. Surely, it was a heinous crime against humanity. Who were those killed in the blast? Surely, they were human beings. Their only crime was that they were easy targets for killers. What was the message of that blast? The clear message was to destabilise the country that houses sacred sites for Muslims.
It is an overall tragedy of Muslim countries that there is no peace in their part of the world. This gives the opponents of the religion an opportunity to defame the religion and its followers. The Saudi government has rightly vowed to curb the violence and make the culprits answerable to the law of the land.
