The lawmaker added that, according to the Qur'an, if you kill an innocent person, you are killing humanity. And the sanctity of human life is emphasized in Islam.

"I want to thank my colleagues for stressing that Islam has nothing to do with this attack. Muslims will never accept violence as part of their faith," Padilla, meanwhile, said in Filipino.

Also, the members of the Bangsamoro Transition Authority filed a resolution condemning, in the strongest possible terms, the bombing incident that ripped through during a Catholic mass service on December 3. (PLK)
