Unity Is America’s Strength — Division Is Its Weakness

Last updated on: September 4, 2025 at 11:42 pm By hahsan

by Hidayatullah Ahsan When Valentina Gomez, a Republican candidate for Congress in Texas’s 31st District, took a flamethrower to the Holy Qur’an and vowed to “end Islam in Texas,” she did more than desecrate a sacred text. She attacked the very foundation of our nation’s promise: freedom of religion. As an American and a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I condemn this vile act in the strongest terms. Ms. Gomez’s rhetoric and actions are not only factually wrong about... Read more

Zohran Mamdani and New York’s Fight Against Islamophobia

Last updated on: August 18, 2025 at 8:42 pm By Amaan Ahmed

0 Comments

This past June, against all odds, Zohran Mamdani won the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City. Hailing from an Indian Muslim family, Zohran’s faith and heritage have been under relentless attack in recent months. He has been labeled “anti-Semitic,” “terrorist,” and “radical jihadist” — not for his policies, but for being Muslim. Sadly, such rhetoric reflects a broader rise in Islamophobia around the world, fueled by decades of fearmongering and the actions of fringe extremist groups. But the... Read more

Each year, on the final Monday of May, Americans pause to honor the brave individuals who gave their lives in military service to this nation. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend—it is a sacred time of remembrance. A time to reflect not just on those we have lost, but on the ideals for which they gave everything: liberty, justice, and human dignity.

Apostasy In Islam: Facts From Fiction

Last updated on: May 28, 2025 at 5:01 pm By Ataul Bhatti

0 Comments

Apostasy—the act of leaving one’s religion—remains one of the most hotly debated topics in the world today. Critics often point to Islam as being especially harsh toward those who renounce their faith, citing laws in Muslim-majority countries that criminalize apostasy with punishments ranging from social ostracism to, in some cases, execution. But while these practices exist in the name of Islam, do they reflect Islam’s actual teachings? The answer is no. Islam, at its core, champions freedom of religion, not... Read more

Does Islam Sanction Forced Conversions?

Last updated on: July 3, 2025 at 4:24 pm By Samar Ahmad

0 Comments

One of the most common accusations against Islam is that it permits forced conversions. There is even a saying among anti-Islam critics that, God forbid, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) spread the message of Islam with a Qur’an in one hand and a sword in the other. This accusation is often used to explain why so many people converted to Islam shortly after the death of Muhammad (saw). Critics claim that Islam spread rapidly because people were forcibly converted, not... Read more
