"Jo aatankvaad failaate hain aur jo log aatankvaad karte hain, unka mazhab se koi lena dena nahi. Those who spread terrorism and those who are terrorists, have nothing to do with religion", says superstar Aamir Khan in Mumbai today in the immediate aftermath of the 2nd terror attack in Dhaka this morning.

Aamir is the second actor to condemn the Dhaka blasts after Irrfan Khan, who has been in the news for irking Muslim clerics with his remark on sacrifice of animals during Eid-uz-Zoha.

Khan recently condemned the terror attack at the Holey Artisan cafe with a strong-worded post on social media.

The actor took to social media to express his condolences to the victims and also expressed his anger towards terrorists for associating the stigma with Islam.

"Bachpan mein mazhab ke baare mein kaha gaya tha ki aapka parausi(neighbor) bhooka ho toh aapko usko shamil kiye bina akele khana nehi khana chahiye," the actor wrote. (When we were children, we were told not to eat without inviting the hungry to share our meal as well..hearing of the Bangladesh terror attacks has led to deep unease in my heart)

The actor went ahead and lashed out on ISIS terrorists for bringing a bad name to the entire community and said that such incidents happen because of a lack of understanding about Quran's true teachings and that in such a situation, Muslims shouldn't stay silent.
