        @BBCBreaking @BBCWorld why are they called Islamist militants? Don't they have #Muslim hostages? Call them terrorists or #political #puppets

        @bbcbreaking Prophet Mohammed says "anybody who kills one, is like killed all mankind" This is the viewpoint of Islam.

        @bbcbreaking Violence doesn't have a religion. Cristian USA killed a lot of innocents in İraq but we never prefixed USA's name as "Cristian"
