In the video, Khan asserts that Pakistan is itself a victim of terrorism and stresses the need for restraint before assigning blame in the aftermath of violent incidents. He emphasizes that acts of terror should not be hastily attributed without a full understanding of the context.
The actor also addresses misconceptions about Islam, stating that the religion does not condone violence. He affirms that neither the Quran nor Islamic teachings allow the killing of innocent people, underscoring the peaceful foundations of the faith.
