Bronx Chronicle: UCLA law professor, Mr. Amjad Mahmood Khan decries the popular perception in today’s 24 hours news cycle and social media that associate Islam with acts of terrorism. These acts, he noted, were disproportionately emphasized and singled out a recent New York Times report that suggested that after 2001, non-Muslim extremists than by radical Muslims killed nearly twice as many people, but the fewer cases by the radical Muslims grabbed more headlines.

Prof. Khan was speaking at a forum in New York with the theme of “Religion, Freedom and Peace,” organized by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is a growing international Islamic movement. Founded in 1889, it spans over 200 countries with a membership of around tens of millions. Currently headquartered in the United Kingdom, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the most prominent Islamic organization that overtly rejects terrorism in any form. Similarly, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the only Islamic organization to endorse a separation of mosque and state.

Professor Khan who graduated from Harvard Law School in 2004, where he served as Editor-in-Chief at Harvard Human Rights Law Journal argued that, “in Islam, God has given each person freedom of choice, and given this, what right does anyone have to force or compel others to accept Islam? Forced faith is no faith at all…ISIS is not and will never be true Islam.
