I believe it is crucial for me as a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to explain that Hamzeh's actions are not based on the correct understanding of Islam taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

As a Muslim American, I am disgusted to see that a Milwaukee resident, Samy Mohamed Hamzeh, had allegedly planned out an attack in the name of Islam, an inherently peaceful religion, that teaches no such action. Moreover, as someone who has called Milwaukee home her entire life, every new detail about his plans and beliefs leaves me feeling rattled and filled with concern.
At a time like this, I believe it is crucial for me as a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to explain that Hamzeh's actions are not based on the correct understanding of Islam taught by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
True Islam teaches people to completely reject all forms of terrorism and promotes dialogue to resolve any conflict. True Islam instructs Muslims to be loyal to their country of residence. Any teaching that contradicts these precepts is extremist ideology and a threat to national security.
I am incredibly grateful for the brave work of the FBI in preventing this attack on humanity. I hope that we will not become divided at a time in need of unity and dialogue. By standing together as one, regardless of faith, we can send a very powerful message to extremists, that we are all united against extremism.

These extremists have nothing to do with Islam. They promote violence for their own selfish desires. All religions condemn terrorism and so is Islam. They kill people and say that they did this in the name of Islam,but our religion Islam doesn't say to kill humanity. There are extremists in every religion but the religion cannot be blamed for their actions. This is an individual act and the whole Muslim community condemn it. May Allah guide these extremists to the right path.
