Humans and animals (II)
ISLAMABAD:
It is true that the religious beliefs of Ahmadis differ from Muslims; it is also evident that feelings of hatred against this sect is visible in generally all the areas of Pakistan; but does all that compel people to kill innocent people, especially when they are praying? There are certain preconditions to being a Muslim and a human being and they prohibit killing of innocent people even if one thinks that they are non-believers. The extremists who carried out the atrocities are nothing better than animals.
