(CNN)After staying away from the news of the attack, Zunera Mazhar felt so outraged that she had to say something. "Being a mother, having a 6-year-old daughter, how do I explain it to her? 'No, this is not us?' " said the Muslim from Virginia. The immigration worker's powerful video message hit on the emotions some Muslims around the world were feeling: outrage, disgust and shame. "I am just livid," said the 31-year-old. "I don't know why we feel that it's OK to kill innocent people in the name of protecting something that does not need or require protection. I am really sorry to the whole world as a Muslim that we have some ignorant people that have taken some very ignorant actions in the name of faith."
