Muslims should work together and show love for one another, rather than exacerbate the unnecessary and bitter Sunni-Shia sectarianism.

The recent execution of a Shi'a cleric has sparked international outrage and protests around the world. Some media report that he was not instigating rebellion against the Saudi state, but was only protesting what he felt was the unjust treatment of Shias in Saudi Arabia. Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, spiritual leader of the world-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (AMC) states that it is appropriate to call his execution unjustified. It is an act of cruelty, which is to be condemned.

As head of the AMC, Hazrat Ahmad vigorously advocates peace, loyalty to one's country of residence and service to humanity. He champions the cause of Islam through a message of peace and compassion. He voices the message that Muslims should work together and show love for one another, rather than exacerbate the unnecessary and bitter Sunni-Shia sectarianism.

In his book "World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace," available at the local Redding Library, Ahmad warns that the world is rapidly moving toward a nuclear Third World War. He forthrightly proclaims that the only way to ensure peace is for the world to adopt humility and justice; for the strong to treat the weak with dignity and respect; and for the weak and poor, in return, to show gratitude.

All should embrace the ways of truth and righteousness. All should turn toward the Creator in humility and total sincerity. May God grant wisdom to the leaders of our world to unite in and for the cause of peace.
