Hearing the horrible news that three American Muslim students were murdered over a parking spot truly made me question if I was in America. While it is being suggested a parking dispute was the cause for these heinous murders, the suspect’s Facebook page draws clear conclusions about his dislike for Islam. Sadly, our country is suffering from a series of hate crimes and has added Islamophobia to the list.
America was based on religious freedom.
Pluralism and tolerance are the very foundations of our country.
Americans must recognize that Islam is not opposed to Western values, is in favor of democracy and shares the same values with many faiths here in America.
Pew Research indicates that 38 percent of Americans know a Muslim, indicating a strong need for personal dialogue.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has 70 chapters nationwide promoting interfaith dialogue and understanding and invites all Americans to join in a conversation towards tolerance. Let us stop the fear and use dialogue to strengthen our tolerance.
As Americans we must stand united against intolerance and bigotry and become a nation that moves beyond the ignorance that fuels hate.

Accept Islam and protect yourself from all afflictions. If you reject this invitation, then the sin of the denial of all your people will rest on your head.

Muslims tactfully propagate that there is no compulsion in religion. But Mohammed had written several threatening letter to various Kings as soon as He had become very powerful.It is wrong that he was sent to the whole of man kind. An arabian could not be a Messenger of GOD for whole of Man kInd. Islam is nothing Arabian imperialism. Because of its imperialistic designs it is a proselytisingreligion.
“PLURALISM AND TOLERANCE ARE THE VERY FOUNDATIONS OF OUR COUNTRY”.
That is true when it comes to muhammadan sensitivity. Even in America, they pay lip service to such beliefs.
A muhammadan once wrote in a prestigious law review that leaving the religion would be viewed seriously even in America….
@ Dr.A.Anburaj
The Prophet Muhammad did not threaten the kings with any force. He just warned them about “Sin,” for which we are all accountable to God.
@ Dr A Anburaj.
If Prophet Muhammad was not from Arabia, I would have asked you the same question Dr. And to Atheists it’s a different debate altogether.
