Hi Prashant,

Malik Faisal Akram was mentally ill.
Malik Faisal Akram hijacked a peaceful religion.
Malik Faisal Akram does not represent Islam.
Malik Faisal Akram was part of a tiny minority.
Malik Faisal Akram did not understand Islam (and we infidels actually do).

Take your pick. And remember, the real problem is the looming Muslim backlash that's sure to happen (even though it didn't happen after 9/11, the Boston marathon, San Bernadino, Fort Hood, Times Square, etc.
