Politicians should encourage building bridges with Muslims rather advocating hatred and divisions. I welcome our politicians to follow motto of "Love for all, hatred for none".

As an Ahmadiyya Muslim, I welcome legitimate advice of Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (AAIO) head Duncan Lewis to Australian politicians about their comments on Islam, and admire the courage of our Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop in wisely supporting Duncan. It is important for our leaders and politicians to talk with wisdom and insight. Most Australian Muslims stand united with the government in the fight against extremism, but if politicians will wrongly accuse Islam, they will lose support of peaceful Muslims.
We cannot establish peace and harmony in our society without observing equality, and justice. We should treat every member of our society with dignity and respect. Blaming Islam for the atrocities of the so-called Islamic State is not only against morality and justice but also a root cause of increasing anti-Muslim attitudes in our society. Politicians should encourage building bridges with Muslims rather advocating hatred and divisions. I welcome our politicians to follow motto of "Love for all, hatred for none".
