For those who making negative comments against moslems, Please study all religion with sincerity including Judism, Christianity and Islam..They are all the religion from One GOD. Only then they can make true comments.
Tahir Qadri make no sense and definitely needs a Physiotherapist.
Wait until GOD punishment reaches to those who amends religion for their worldly benefits (Munafiq).
