The crime has to stop. The quickest way to stop this madness is to kill the assailant in place. Every Country is closing its door against immigrants now. Where else can we seek a refuge?. We are left with one option now i.e an eye for an eye. The killer of this Imam should not be given a chance to sit in jail.
