Famous music composer and singer Salim Merchant has spoken out with deep pain after the recent terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, where 26 soldiers tragically lost their lives.
In a heartfelt video, Salim said, “Sharam aa rahi hai as a Muslim” – which means “I feel ashamed as a Muslim.” He condemned the violence and made it clear that such cruel acts have nothing to do with Islam.
|“Islam does not teach this,” he said. “Our religion teaches peace, kindness, and respect for all.”
Salim’s emotional message is being widely shared across social media. Many are praising him for speaking up and reminding people that terrorists do not represent any religion. He urged everyone not to blame a whole community because of the actions of a few.
In times like these, when emotions are running high, his words come as a strong call for unity. He said that such attacks not only bring pain but also wrongly stain the image of a peaceful religion followed by millions.
The Pahalgam attack has left the nation in shock. People from all walks of life have condemned the incident. Salim Merchant’s voice stands out because it comes from the heart—and because it challenges the hate that often follows such tragedies.
His message is simple but powerful: Terrorism has no religion. Hate should never win.
As we mourn the loss of brave lives, let’s also remember to stand together. Let’s not spread hate, but instead support peace, love, and understanding.
