Hate-Sanctioned Attack on Ahmadi Mosque in Pakistan Not The First

Last updated on: December 16, 2016 at 4:49 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Ibrahim Ijaz Is anyone surprised that hate crimes have increased 31% in 2016? This year has been exceptionally revealing in terms of hidden, hateful sentiments. But hate based crime isn’t just an American issue. Unlike apple pie, hate based crime is on the rise globally as well. My religious community, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, is especially familiar with violence stemming from intolerance in Pakistan. On Monday, December 12th, a mob of 1,000 attacked an Ahmadi Mosque while worshippers were inside. This incident occurred... Read more

The Babri Mosque vs. Dhulmial’s Ahmadiyya Mosque – Is it Not a Similar Story?

Last updated on: December 13, 2016 at 1:08 pm By Dilshad Ali

Embed from Getty Images By Ayesha Noor On the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday Monday, thousands of Sunnis attacked an Ahmadiyya mosque in Dhulmial, Pakistan, setting fire to it and wounding several in the process before police dispersed the crowd and took over the mosque. Unfortunately, this kind of sectarian violence has happened before. On December 6, 1992, Hindu fanatics attacked the Babri mosque in Ayodhya, India. But while the Babri attack was soundly condemned, the Dhulmial attack has been praised. Why?... Read more

Justice in an Unjust World

Last updated on: November 4, 2016 at 2:05 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Zahid Mian That the world is increasingly moving towards instability is not shocking. Riots and protesters are common on the streets of countries across the world. Neither the rich nor the poor are immune from these eruptions. Greece, Egypt, South Africa, Iceland, Venezuela, Pakistan, Myanmar, and even the United States have seen their share of protesters. In the United States, movements like Occupy Wall Street, Black Lives Matter, environmental protesters, and those like the “alt right” that take their... Read more

Women and True Islam

Last updated on: October 29, 2016 at 1:56 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Zohaib Zafar A few weeks ago, Senator Tim Kaine came to Davidson College in an effort to mobilize millennials so that the Clinton-Kaine ticket can win over North Carolina. He made some interesting observations about how women are treated in America in comparison to other countries. One point he made was that Iraq and Afghanistan have higher representation of women in their legislative bodies and that America must recognize where it comes short. This fact is especially worth considering... Read more

Why Cause Terror When There is Freedom of Speech?

Last updated on: October 2, 2016 at 10:00 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Labeeb Ahmad As we hear of another attack on our soil by someone who seems to be of a foreign background, his motives continue to be speculated by authorities. What pushed Ahmad Khan Rahami – the perpetrator of the Chelsea and Linden bombings this past weekend – to commit this evil act? If it was anger at America, enough anger to blow up one’s fellow country mates, then I must express how sick and tired I am of... Read more

A Worldwide Leader Like No Other

Last updated on: September 30, 2016 at 9:12 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Ijaz Ahmed Imagine, if you will, a leader of millions who spends every waking hour of the day trying to establish sustainable peace throughout the world. Despite having tens of millions of devoted followers across the globe, this same leader is so humble that he still changes the light bulbs in his small flat in London, prepares his own clothes, and tends to his own garden. Envision a leader so hardworking and devoted that he works 7 days a... Read more

Some Advice for an Italian MEP

Last updated on: September 26, 2016 at 7:57 am By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Aasim Ahmad It was reported by London’s Express that Magdi Allam, an Italian MEP, believes that mosques are Islam’s cancer and that mosques are used to promote and manufacture terrorists. Coming from an Italian MEP, this is a fascinating comment uniquely rooted in manifest falsehood and ignorance. Although we can easily agree with Mr. Allam that preaching hate in any environment is ill advised as it jeopardizes the pursuit of a just and peaceful society, it is interesting that Allam’s solution...

by Ibrihim Ahmed “The death toll has now risen to 60 people, and gunmen are still inside the two mosques, carrying out continuous killings”, said the news anchor. I was watching the television with horror along with my two younger sisters. My mother called us from work telling us to stay calm and that everything would be alright. What concerned me was that my father was inside one of the mosques where these attacks were taking place. He was in... Read more

African Americans and Muslims Americans

Last updated on: September 1, 2016 at 6:32 pm By Muslims Writers Guild of America

by Zohaib Zafar As a Muslim-American, I am attracted to both Islam and America because of the idea inherent in both that all people are created equal. Both Islam and America have been stained by people who subvert them for their own political agendas and in America’s case, it was subverted right pafrom the beginning. America became what it is at the expense of African Americans who built this great nation as slaves and ever since America’s inception, African Americans... Read more

by Nayyar Ahmed Turbulent times as Turkey faces yet another tragic attack. While the world celebrates the end of Rio Olympics with all its glory, a suicide bomber struck at a wedding claiming over 50 innocent lives of men, women and children in the southeastern city of Gaziantep. As members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, we condemn this attack in the strongest terms and send our prayers of patience and fortitude to the victims of this terrifying massacre. To add...
