administrative leader of the single largest and most organized Muslim organization worldwide, His Holiness advocates for global peace, absolute justice, a separation of mosque and state, and universal human rights.
In welcoming His Holiness with a special city proclamation, Dennis Zine, Los Angeles City Councilman, remarked, “Your Holiness, welcome to the city of angels—a fitting name on this historic day. Los Angeles is a melting pot for all religious and ethnic groups. We are honored to host you.”
His Holiness’ arrival at the Bait ul Hameed mosque on Saturday afternoon was broadcast live nationwide and to over 200 countries worldwide via Internet. “His Holiness is gracing America with his presence at a time when many young American
Muslims struggle with their identity,” said Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA National Vice President Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, “and by his example of compassion and tolerance, His Holiness demonstrates that no conflict exists between being Muslim and being American.”
