Who are they?

Published December 21, 2014

HOW could the terrorists enter that high-security area? Why isn’t anybody doing something to stop this? And, most importantly, who is behind all this?

I guess these questions are in everyone’s mind, but no one really has the answer. I want the world not to blame Muslims for it as our Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was against killing or even using children in violence and war.

We really don’t know who these Taliban are? Everyone is worried and asking whether we will ever be able to send our children to school again.
