June 22nd – June 28th – “Stop Vilifying Islam”

Letter to the Editor
Letter Title: “Stop Vilifying Islam”
The Tennessean newspaper published a vile ad this past Sunday which read, “… that July 18, 2020, Islam is going to detonate a nuclear device in Nashville, Tennessee”. This shook me to my core. As an Ahmadi Muslim I am appalled at the newspaper for publishing this ad. To the followers of Future for America, a “prophecy ministry”, nothing could be further from the truth. Islam is not a country. It is a monotheistic religion just like Judaism or Christianity. This group is inciting violence against Muslims.
If this group had reached out to Muslims to educate themselves on Islam and its teachings, they would’ve learned that Islam teaches peace and requires its followers to live in peace following the laws of the land (U.S. Constitution) wherever they live not just out of expediency but because this is a commandment of God, “O ye who believe! obey Allah, and obey His Messenger and those who are in authority among you. (4:60). Prophet Muhammad taught that, “Love of your place of residence is a requirement of your faith.”
Further elaborating on this, His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the Caliph of Islam says in his book, ‘World Crisis and the Pathway to Peace’, “To truly love God and Islam requires a person to love his nation. It is quite clear, therefore, that there can be no conflict of interest between a person’s love for God, and love for his country.”

Only 100 years ago, Catholics-not Muslims were persecuted in #America for both a fear of their beliefs & allegiances. Islam teaches that faith & patriotism go hand in hand. #ProphetMuhammad stated, "Love of one's country is a part of faith." Learn more at: https://t.co/KSFhX8FiaY pic.twitter.com/8nD45g8RlM
