Actor Irrfan Khan had recently irked the Muslim clerics with his remark against Qurbani in the month of Ramzan. While he received a lot of flak for his comments, the actor stood by what he said. In one of his tweets later, he also thanked God saying that he didn't live in a country governed by religious contractors (thekedars) and that he wasn't scared by the clerics.

Today, Irrfan again took to the social media to express his condolences to the victims of the ISIS attack at a restaurant in Dhaka, Bangladesh. In a heart-wrenching note, the actor wrote that how one incident brings bad name to the entire Islam community. He also said that Islam is about peace, mercy and feeling the pain of others.

Read the full note below:

Bachpan mein mazhab ke baare mein kaha gaya tha ki aapka parausi(neighbor) bhooka ho toh aapko usko shamil kiye bina akele khana nehi khana chahiye. Bangladesh ki khabar sunker ander ajeeb vehshat ka sannatta hai...

Quran ki aayeten naa janne ki wajeh se ramzaan ke mahine mein logon ko qatal ker diya gaya. Haadsa ek jagah hota hai , badnaam Islaam aur poori duniya ka musalman hota hai. Woh Islaam jiski buniyaad hi aman, reham aur dusro ka dard mehsoos kerna hai. Aise me kya musalman chup baitha rahe aur mazhab ko badnaam hone de? ya wo khud Islaam ke sahi mayne(meaning) ko smajhe aur doosron ko bataye, ki zulm aur qatlo gharat(massacre) karna Islaam nehi hai.

YEH EK SAWAAL HAIN !!

Need more people like him to speak out. Radicalists never stop. You may not be their target today but some day you will be.

As Neimoller described Nazis

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out"
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out"
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out"
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me"and there was no one left to speak for me.

Beautiful post; Beautiful quote 👏

Reminds me of another great one

"The world suffers a lot. Not because the violence of bad people. But because of the silence of the good people."

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Silence of good people is the reason the world is in this state today

And what about those good people who they themselves stay silent on this issue but attack other people who talk against violence and extremism?
