Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad: the Worldwide Leader of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community
Having unequivocally condemned the Paris attacks and all forms of extremism and terror, the Khalifa addressed the publication of new cartoons during his weekly Friday Sermon, delivered from the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London. His Holiness said that such caricatures grieved and pained peace-loving Muslims throughout the world and were to be condemned. However, he said that any form of violent or illegal response could never be justified and was completely against the teachings of Islam. His Holiness also said that taking to the streets in protest was not an appropriate response but rather Muslims should respond by increasing in prayer and by offering salutations to the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him).
