<p>A video advertisement that depicts a would-be suicide bomber confronted by the faithful has gone viral two days into the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.<br /><br />"Worship your God with love, not terror" is the main message of the three-minute advert posted Friday online by Kuwaiti telecommunications giant Zain, which operates across the Middle East.<br /><br />"I will tell God everything," says the voiceover of a child at the beginning of the ad as a man is seen preparing a bomb. "That you've filled the cemeteries with our children and emptied our school desks..."<br /><br />The video featuring Emirati pop star Hussain al-Jassmi has registered nearly two million views on Zain's YouTube page and more than 4,000 shares on Facebook.<br /><br />It features images from bombings across the region claimed by Al-Qaeda or the Islamic State group. But it ends on a positive note with footage of a happy wedding and cheerful children dressed in white.<br /><br />"We will encounter their hatred with songs of love," concludes a caption superimposed on a black background. Gulf monarchies are part of the US-led coalition bombing IS extremists in Syria and Iraq. Some of them have also been targeted by attacks.<br /><br />The month of Ramadan began yesterday. During that time, believers abstain from eating, drinking -- even of water -- smoking and sexual relations between sunrise and sunset. The fast is conceived as a spiritual struggle against the seduction of earthly pleasures.<br /><br /></p>
