Dear South African media, if the #mosqueattack is indeed an act of sectarianism, seek commentary from figures within the Muslim Community who are the authority on this matter as opposed to those adding reactionary hot takes with zero understanding on the fundamentals of Islam

Can we rely on SA police & intelligence services to give us a proper understanding of the reasons behind KZN #MosqueAttack. We really don’t need to import rubbish theories & perspectives on our country from other agencies. #fb

#MosqueAttack can you guys honestly and truthfully see the influence of Uzalo in our communities? The Mosque attack is the same as the one Nkunzi planned and executed. Now people are experimenting and we wonder why.
