Would Donald Trump like to know what this Muslim mother teaches her children?

I tell them that attacks such as the San Bernardino shootings were evil acts, carried out by people who called themselves Muslims — and even dressed as Muslims — but who knew little about Islam.

I belong to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, and I tell my kids to listen to the community’s worldwide spiritual caliph, his Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who says, “Islam teaches us to live with mutual love and affection and with humility. It teaches us that there is no distinction between a Muslim or a non-Muslim. My message to everyone is that you must have love for all, hatred for none.”

And I also tell them not to judge an entire nation based on the misguided policies of a few.

A person is never too old to learn, Mr. Trump.
