Muslim residents of Japan on Sunday expressed their condolences for the murder of journalist Kenji Goto and said they were angry about the Islamic State group's actions.
"We are very, very sorry about this bad news and I am telling the Japanese people that we are very, very sorry," said Mohamad H. Loghmani, a 44-year-old Iranian resident of Tokyo.
He said the Islamic State group has non-Islamic aims: a hunger for money, power and blood. He said he does not consider its fighters to be Muslims.
