Condemnation from a Muslim


As a 23-year-old Ahmadi Muslim American, I condemn the actions of the so-called Muslim youth in California arrested for planning to join a terrorist organization.
Their belief that Islam advocates violence goes against Islam’s teaching.
Prophet Muhammad taught that loyalty to one’s country is part of one’s faith. A Muslim American who attacks America is actually attacking Islamic principles. Muslims in America should be loyal to America, not only because of their faith, but also because of their privileges in America. Unlike in France, Muslim American women are allowed to wear their head scarfs. Unlike in Switzerland, mosques in America are allowed to have minarets.
Muslims should proudly serve their country. This is the spirit of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. We have raised over $80,000 in our Walk for Humanity for the less fortunate. Service to our country is the real motto for Muslim youth.

Press Release UK: Global Minorities Alliance Urges Release of British doctor accused of blasphemy

Glasgow:  A UK-based human rights organisation is calling on the authorities in Pakistan to release a 72-year-old doctor who was arrested for ‘posing as a Muslim’ after being secretly filmed by a patient at his surgery. Global Minorities Alliance, a Glasgow-based human rights organisation which advocates for the rights of minority communities the world over, denounced the imprisonment as a further example of Pakistan’s strict blasphemy laws being used to persecute minorities and whip up religious hatred rather than seek justice in a country which is increasingly being divided by violence. Mr Masood Ahmad, a member of the Ahmadiyya community, was charged under Pakistan’s anti-Ahmadiyya blasphemy legislation after a religious leader posing as a patient attended his homeopathy clinic in Lahore and secretly recorded him reading a verse from the Quran. Mr Ahmad, who has dual Pakistani/UK nationality and previously lived in London, was arrested shortly after and is now in pri...
