Well done, this is real Islam and humanity…
Even I wanted to visit lady Fatimah church in Jasola, New Delhi but my inability because of my fractured foot. In Sha Allah after I am okay I will visit.
InshaAllah
Visiting churches and expressing solidarity after every terrorist attack is just a way to make non muslims fool. If you really want to struggle against Islamic terrorism then pickup gun & kill terrorists..
