Mr. President of the French Republic 
His Excellency Nicolas Sarkozy
Elysee Palace
55, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore
75008 Paris
France
Dear Mr. President,
In view of rapidly changing circumstances in the world, I must send you this letter because as President of the French Republic, you have the power to make decisions that will affect not only your country, but the world as a whole. In my opinion, the world governments should be extremely concerned about the current state of things in the world. Injustices and hostilities among nations are about to switch to a global conflict.
The last century witnessed two world wars. After WWI, the League of Nations was created, but the demands of justice were not so far honored and, consequently, this led to World War II, leading ultimately to the use of atomic bombs .Subsequently, the United Nations was created for the protection of human rights and to maintain peace on earth. However, if the means to avoid war have been considered, the fact remains that today we observe that the foundations for World War III has already been laid. Many nations, big and small, have atomic bombs now. The most worrying is the fact that some of the nuclear powers of the least importance are irresponsible and ignorant compared to the devastating consequences of these weapons. In the event the nuclear weapons are used, it is not at all inconceivable what would happen. The weapons available today are so destructive they could lead to several generations of children born with severe physical and genetic defects. We know that in Japan the only country to experience the devastating destruction of nuclear war, though seven decades have passed, the effects of atomic bombs continue to occur in newborns.
So I humbly ask you to do everything you can to extinguish the enmity and mistrust that persists between the Muslim and non-Muslim world. Among European countries, there are those who eat large reserves from the teachings and traditions of Islam and have imposed certain restrictions, while others are still thinking how to do the same. The animosity that extremists who call themselves Muslims are already against the West could cause them to react inappropriately, leading to even more religious intolerance and discord. Islam, however, is a peaceful religion that teaches us not to use evil to fight evil. We, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, follow this principle, we believe in finding peaceful solutions to all problems.
Unfortunately, we can only see a small minority of Muslims continue to present an entirely distorted picture of Islam and act on their beliefs. The love I have for the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), who was a Mercy for all mankind, compels me to tell you that you should not believe that their actions are the true Islam and that you keep using their misguided acts as a pretext to undermine the feelings of the majority of peaceful Muslims. Recently, a person without pity or heart shot of French soldiers in the South of France for no reason; few days later, he entered a school and killed three innocent Jewish children and their teachers.We observe such cruelty regularly in Islamic countries, so much so that all these acts give the opponents of Islam as well fuel their hatred to express that a base from which to pursue their objectives on a large scale.
As a Muslim, I want to make it absolutely clear that Islam does not allow cruelty or oppression in any form. The Holy Quran says that the killing of an innocent person is tantamount to killing all mankind. This is an injunction which is absolute and without conditions. The Qur’an also declares that, even if a country or people vow of enmity towards you, this should not prevent you from acting in a totally fair and equitable manner to them. Animosities and rivalries must not lead you to take revenge or to act disproportionately. If you want the conflicts are resolved in the best way, try to search it for amicable solutions.
I understand that many Western countries have generously allowed the inhabitants of poor countries and underdeveloped to settle on their territories. It is a fact that many a Muslims live in your country as citizens. They are mostly law-abiding and sincere. Indeed, Islam clearly states that the love for ones country is an integral part of faith. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is on this principle, and does everything to promote this message throughout the world. This is the message I send you also, that if the authentic teaching of Islam has spread in all directions, requirements that make love for the nation and peace and will be honored at national and International level.
The humble petition that I make to you, and to world leaders, is that instead of using force to suppress other nations, have recourse to diplomacy, dialogue and wisdom . The major world powers, including France, must play their role to establish peace. They should not use the actions of small countries as a pretext to disturb the harmony of the world. so may I expect from you, to do everything possible for you, to prevent the powers: big or small to trigger World War III. There should be no doubt in our minds that if we fail to prevent the war, the implications could not be limited to poor in Asia, Europe and the Americas, on the contrary, our future generations will suffer the horrible consequences of our actions and our children worldwide will be born with deformities. I pray that God Almighty may help you and world leaders, to understand this message.
Please accept, Mr. President, the assurance of my best wishes and my most sincere prayers.
Mirza Masroor Ahmad
Khalifatul Masih V
Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community International

It should be sent in french, because French people can read it easily .
A great effort on the part of Ahmadiyya Community. It would be better to watch out next Sunday. If some new President is elected should also get the letter as it is an extremely significant letter to an important country of the world.
Excellent ( Mashallah ):- 1-A letter , like “a stitch in time( May ) save nine”.( Inshallah)
2- Anticipation :-As a true Khalifa of Islam, as a true spiritual leader with God gifted anticipation and wisdom He is warning the World leader to avoid the world war-3.
3-Letter Full of Reasoning :-” More Powerful leader more responsibility on him to save the world from total destruction.”
4-Letter presenting the actual Teaching of Islam:- Islam a message of Peace to mankind.He said “Islam, however, is a peaceful religion that teaches us not to use evil to fight evil.

Referring to Mr. Zubair’s comments: its true that today’s winner is Mr. Francois Hollande. He is a socialist, by nature seems to be a peace monger. During his election campaign he boldly defended the anti Muslim stance of Mr.Nicolas Sarkozy.
What a thoughtful and really an inspiring Message of hope and peace, safety,security and survival of mankind,by removing the causes of the possible threths of death and destruction of the impending 3rd world war. This spirited call, coming from the supreme Head of the world-wide Ahmadiyya Muslim community has a very special meaning and significance for whole of the mankind as Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth successor of the Promised Massiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, who claim to be the one whose ascension is still being awaited by the followers of other religions like christians, jews, Hindos Bhudhists and the Muslims belonging to 72 sects(the Amadiyya Muslim community is regarded as the 73rd sect, which is regarded as non-muslim by their adversaries. But the founder of the Ahmadiyya community claims to be real interpretor of true Islam and he had to be accepted as expected and being awaited by the muslims as ‘Masih Maud’of the 14th century and the followers of other religions too, all must accept him,for all the time to come. Hence this Message from the Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, has a very special significance for all those who occupy the seats of authority in their respective countries. The future of whole mankind depends upon the avoidance of all sorts of wars and a passion for peace progress in unity and such a noble end requires practical acception and implementation of this inspiring message of ‘hope and peace’, by Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, Khalifatul Masih Al-Khamis. Anyhow, before I say Wassalam to all dear readers, let us make a joint call to the slogan, “Love for all, hatred for none”, and practice it for the whole of our future life. The very survival of mankind depends upon practicing this slogan.Inshallah.
