MUSLIMS NOT TO BE BLAMED FOR INTERNATIONAL CONFLICT, REITERATES THE WORLD IN LIGHT OF PARIS ATTACKS [VIDEO]

MOHIT PRIYADARSHI

Muslims are not the reason for Paris attacks, is the message that seems to pervade social media two days after the French capital had to endure one of its worst nightmares of the post-war era.

Paris was attacked with a spate of bombings and shootings on the night of November 13, killing more than 120 people and injuring many others, in an ordeal that lasted for more than an hour.

In the aftermath of Paris attacks, people all around the world and belonging to all faiths, have reiterated that the blame for growing international conflict cannot be put squarely on Muslims, or people belonging to the Islamic faith.

A day after ISIS took responsibility for the ghastly attacks on Paris, ordinary Muslims feared a backlash, fueled by Islamophobia and misinformation. However, as is often the case, racial bigotry got a slap on its face when people took to social media to express not only their solidarity with the victims of Paris attacks, but also their solidarity with Muslims.

A Facebook post from Leigh Matthews, a graphic designer from Wales, in which he urged people to restrain from condemning ordinary Muslims for the attacks, has had more than 50,000 shares. In the post, Matthews asked people not to give in to racial prejudice in harrowing times such as these. His full post reads as follows.
