In response to the tragic terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday night, a group of Muslim students in France have created a powerful video that is being viewed and shared over and over again online.

Shortly after the massacre, the so-called Islamic State group ISIS claimed responsibility for both the shootings and suicide bombing across the city, which at this moment have claimed 129 lives and left many more seriously injured.

In the two minute clip, students from The Etudiants Musulmans de France (EMF) – a French student organisation representing thousands of people of the Muslim faith – gather to express their sadness and shock alongside the rest of the world after fatalities in the French capital.

Following the increased Islamophobic backlash since the attack, at the heart of this video is the message that the beliefs in which the terrorists acted under is not the ones shared by Islamic faith at large, and of course the students themselves. They stand united with France and the rest of the world in the battle against extremists of any faith.
