New research by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding also shows that the more religious a Muslim is, the more patriotic he/she is likely to be.

"I think Islam hates us," said GOP front runner Donald Trump during an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. This is such a false accusation coming from someone who is aiming to "Make America Great Again." As a matter of fact, Islam requires a Muslim's loyalty and obedience to their respective country of residence.

As stated in the Holy Qu'ran "...obey those in authority from among you” (4:60). Prophet Muhammad also stated on several occasions, "Love of one's country is a part of faith." As an Ahmadi Muslim American, it is incomprehensible for me to hate America when love for this nation is intertwined as part of my identity.

New research by the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding also shows that the more religious a Muslim is, the more patriotic he/she is likely to be. This rejects the notion of "hate" against America, as described by Donald Trump.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has also launched a worldwide campaign called True Islam, to promote the true teachings of Islam. You can also join us by endorsing us on www.trueislam.com. If Donald Trump really wishes to "Make America Great Again," then he must not make such divisive comments about a religion that is aiming to unite against extremism and radicalization.
