Bismillah
salam all
I agree with Radiyah that such incidents, add to them the yesterday's bombings here in Egypt, are very complicated.
But Universist, let me just add two points here that might appear off topic but they are not.
Some Muslims in order to apologize when such incidents take place start probagating Islam as meaning peace.
The word Islam in arabic is another verb form of Tasleem, yosalem which all mean to deliver, give or submit.
So to clearly explain what Islam is it is an exaggerating form of the very to deliver, sumbit or give in.
In other words the word Islam is the act of Islam which is the act of to submit or surrender to Allah. To sumbit yourself and surrrender yourself to Allah and thus to what Allah Commands or ordains. To stricly follow Allah's commands.
Not every one can really do this, we might be muslims, yes but yes not fully submitting to Allah's Commands.
There was another point that I wanted to tell u about, Sobhan Allah seems I forgot what it was.
May be Insh aAllah I will remember later
