"After their atrocities, they became confused. We asked them; “you think guns are the solution to everything?
"We only preach. When it comes to preaching, that’s our field. God endowed us with wisdom, but not them.
"When it comes to scholarship, again that’s our field. We educate people. they don't! In the field of common sense and self-restraint too, you will find us there.
"However, the use of guns, that’s their own field. They possess guns and they can kill. That’s where they major in.
"Although you see large multitude of followers with us, it wasn’t gun that was used to assemble them.
"We sensibly preach to them with wisdom and they see the sense in it, and thus gather. If we were using guns, nobody will come to us. But they think they can use guns to disperse us.
"However, having used the guns against us, they only spread our message."
