Why aren’t religious leaders coming out and condemning this type of satanic behavior.Where is the love that Christians are used to claiming and the justice that Jews have always talked about.Where is the peace that Muslim scholars refer to especially now.I believe just from Bryan is eyes that he is possessed.His eyes are dark and open in a way that is indicative of possession.When someone like that is possessed they are under the influence of another body which enlarged their organs like eyes for example.He must be really hot under the skin as well.

I definitely believe from Bryan is body gestures like the eyes are indicative of devil possession.Islam teaches us that the eye is real.And it is also closely related to death after destiny.From Bryan is eyes I can interpret that he was in some influence.Usually when somebody like that is possessed their eyes speak for the crimes they committed.

Also for the victims I finally want to say that it’s sad they never chose Islam before their deaths.Sad they won’t be spared on the day of judgement even though they were wronged by Bryan a possessed non Semite.
