The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights grants every citizen of the United States freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly and to petition the government. As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I am proud to be a part of this country, where my religious freedom is protected, and where I have been granted countless rights and privileges.
In honor of our soldiers this coming Memorial Day, I think that we should respect and obey our country of residence and the authorities above us. Loyalty to America is something all American Ahmadi Muslims possess and cherish deeply. There is no conflict whatsoever evident in being a good Muslim as well as a good American citizen. In fact, my religion truly teaches me both. Any Muslim who sees a conflict in being a patriotic citizen and being a Muslim, they are not acting within the teachings of Islam.
