Qandeel Baloch

Published July 23, 2016

QANDEEL Baloch was an actress, model and social media celebrity. She received recognition from the media when she appeared in 2013 for an audition on Pakistan Idol. Her audition went viral and she became an internet superstar.

We all know she was trying to achieve fame through negative means, but this should not have become a reason for her murder.

No religion, no culture and no ethics allow the taking of human life for petty reasons. A person cannot and should not judge another person’s acts. This is the Almighty’s sole prerogative. May Allah rest her soul in peace.
