LUBP: by Ali Taj
The spiritual leader and fifth Khalifa of Ahmadiyya Muslim community visited Los Angeles on 11 May 2013 and delivered an address. I had the pleasure and honor of meeting his holiness and asked him a question about the U-turn that Pakistan is taking away from tolerance and into the fire of Islamofacism. This is a trend we must strive to reverse. I made it a point to thank the Ahmadiyya Muslim community for their contributions in the creation and development of Pakistan, including but not limited to Sir Zafarullah Khan, the first Foreign Minister of Pakistan and Dr. Abdus Salam, the first Muslim to be awarded the Nobel Prize. The whole reason of my attendance was to demonstrate that while we may disagree on some issues and interpretations we must respect and tolerate our differences and cherish and highlight our common achievements.

A great write-up by Mr. Ali. You have to be really courageous to say all that he said & met our Imam.
I think he believes rightly that his life & death are in Allah’s hands not in some low-grade muulah’s!! Good job LUBP & TMT!! Keep it up!
