Ahmadiyya community donates the community Gustavsburg-leaved lime

The Ahmadiyya community has Gustavsburg given a tree. Very centrally located, where in the Darmstadt road during the summer months a monumental fountain bubbles will evolve in the coming years, a magnificent linden tree up to 15 feet - "with the help of Allah" as Ahmadiyya spokesman Rafiq Ahmed pointed out. With a silent prayer to the planting site, conducted by Imam Muhammad Ashraf Zia, there was a moment of pause and return to the fact that the forces of nature obey probably a higher order.
To accept that there are different religions in the world that it is true and to be tolerated, said Mayor Richard von Neumann. The tree he was also quite symbolic and wished that the lime may take root, I like the the Ahmadiyya religious community has done in the community. The town hall boss mentioned the cleaning action of the Muslim New Year's Day, the events in the mosque or even the recently discharged charity football match. Moreover Ahmadyyia members would engage in Ausländerbeirat. "We must reach out to each other to understand us," Neumann said in view of many nationalities who live in the Rhine-Main area, and also in his community. "Retreat is the wrong way."

Sikhs deserve the dignity of being a statistic
