USA: Muslims assail senseless acts


There is no basis for such violence in the teachings of Islam. Islam does not prescribe any punishment for blasphemy, and our holy book, the Quran, instructs Muslims to walk away from those insulting their faith.

I belong to the Albany chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and we strongly condemn the senseless acts of violence against the U.S diplomatic offices in Egypt and Libya, as well as the murder of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and other U.S diplomats.

There is no basis for such violence in the teachings of Islam. Islam does not prescribe any punishment for blasphemy, and our holy book, the Quran, instructs Muslims to walk away from those insulting their faith.
