PETALING JAYA: Statements by Malaysian Muslims in support of the killings in the June 12 Orlando nightclub mass shooting can be interpreted as condoning the acts of violence which cannot be justified, says G25.

“It is extremely disturbing to see in social media some Muslims in Malaysia revelling at the murder and justifying it on the ground that homosexuality is forbidden and is a major sin in Islam.
