A Press release by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, on March 25, 2013, stated that His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad appeals for an end to inequality.

The World Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (Jamaat) and Fifth Khalifa, His Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad has spoken at length about the perilous state of the world and the impending threat of a nuclear war.

Whilst delivering the keynote address, on the occasion of the 10th Annual Peace Symposium at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London, His Holiness warned of catastrophic consequences if true justice at all levels was not observed. He said the risk of a nuclear war was real and was the biggest threat to today’s civilization.

The event attracted an audience of more than 1,000 people, including Government Ministers, Ambassadors of State, Members of both Houses of Parliament and various other dignitaries and guests from all walks of life. The theme of this year’s Symposium was ‘The Pathway to Peace.’

During his keynote address His Holiness spoke about the need for peace and justice; the escalating conflicts in the Far East; the war in Syria and the increasing risks of a global, nuclear war. He also offered a solution for global unrest based on the teachings of the Holy Qur’an.

His Holiness  began by speaking about the pressing needs of the time. He said:

To strive for peace is a noble ambition and is something that the world has always stood in great need of. If we look at the situation of the world today, we realize that now, more than ever, it is a pressing and urgent need of the time for us to seek and pursue peace and harmony in the world.

His Holiness  Mirza Masroor Ahmad said that whilst Islam advocated fairness, equality and justice at all levels, even the majority of the world’s Muslims had forgotten these teachings.

His Holiness  Mirza Masroor Ahmad appealed for change to save society:

If we want true peace and if we want to save the world from destruction then we must act with justice, integrity and be ever faithful to the truth.

The global Muslim leader spoke of his concern about escalating conflicts in the Far East, particularly between North and South Korea and between China and Japan. He said the Western world was not immune from the effects of such conflicts and that the United States was already directly involved in both of these disputes due to its close alliances with South Korea and Japan. He said that North Korea had not been shy in threatening to use its nuclear weapons and did not seem to care about the consequences of its actions.
