Pakistan Foreign Office has expressed concern over the rising instances of hate crimes against Muslims following the deadly Paris carnage on November 13.

According to The Dawn, Pakistan Foreign Office Spokesman Qazi Khalilullah said that terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, which is a religion of peace and brotherhood.

At least 129 people were killed in Paris in attacks that was claimed by the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

A wave of coordinated attacks hit at least six places in the French capital on Nov 13. The attackers had targeted the Bataclan concert hall, a sports stadium and restaurants.
