Naeem Rashid
Talha Rashid
Sohail Shahid
Syed Jahanda Ali
Syed Areeb Ahmed
Mahboob Haroon
Ghulam Hussain
Karam Bibi Raza
Zeeshan Raza
Atta Mohammad Elayyan
Khaled Mustafa
Hamza Mustafa
Lilik Abdul Hamid
Maheboob Khokhar
Ramiz Vora
Asif Vora
Ansi Alibava
Ozair Kadir
Mounir Suleiman
Ahmed Jamal Aldean Abdulghani

Ashraf al-Masri
Abdus Samad

Matiullah Safi
Amjad Hamid

There are another 16 dead, and 50 more in hospital.

These are the names of those who sparked love, joy and gratitude in their community. We should remember them, not the despicable monster who shattered them.

Beyond that, I have nothing to say about gratitude today, so I’ll share this from Australian writer, lawyer and news commenter Waleed Aly.
