As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association, I condemn any and all acts of violence, and respect law enforcement for saving countless lives at the Garland, Texas, “free speech” event.
Islam teaches us to champion free speech and religious freedom for all of mankind and never to use violence or threats to intimidate or silence anyone.
The Holy Quran and our Prophet remind us to respond to speech with speech no matter how hateful it may be.
It devastates me, however, that some delight in defaming the character of the Prophet Muhammad. But the world is not now, nor will it ever be, in need of more hatred, but only in need of peace.
This is the message imparted by the Khalifa of Islam, Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who stated, “We must accept that peace can only be built upon the solid foundations of honesty, integrity and justice.”
These are the keys to peace. Until there is honesty and justice, no solution will ever prove beneficial.
