Leaders dispel ideas of violence in IslamPosted by Rafiq A. Tschannen By Lynsay Williams | The Daily Tar Heel A little more than a week after the bombings at the
Boston Marathon, Muslims in the Triangle came together Tuesday to promote Islam as a peaceful
religion. The event, held in the Frank Porter Student Union and attended by about 60, was organized by the Research Triangle chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. It aimed to portray Muhammad and Islam as peaceful, using the phrase “Love for all. Hatred for none.” Marriam Azam, a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community who is enrolled at UNC and also has a daughter studying at the University, said UNC has a very open-minded student body. “It’s a great opportunity for people to learn more and feel comfortable asking any questions they have,” she said. The event featured recitations of excerpts from the Quran, a holy text of Islam, and religious singing. The keynote address was given by Yahya Luqman, imam, or leader, of the Virginia chapters of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. His speech focused on common misconceptions about Islam: that the world would be better off without Islam and that the religion has a message of hate and intolerance, as practiced by Muhammad. Luqman used examples from Muhammad’s life and the Quran to dispel
discrepancies. He also said the term jihad means “the struggle” and in context refers to an inner struggle or striving for righteousness. The word jihad is commonly associated with violence and “holy war.” “There is nowhere in the Quran where jihad is used in the context of war,” he said. Nasira Sayed, president of the women’s section of the Research Triangle chapter of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, said she thought the event came at a good time. “We want to spread
the word of
the prophet and show his character,” she said. “He was a peaceful prophet. He did not make his claim by the sword.” Freshman Rachel Woods, a religious studies major and member of a religious pluralism group, said when she heard about the event she was immediately interested. “I just want to learn something about the prophet and why he’s considered a peaceful prophet.” Contact the desk editor at unive...@dailytarheel.com Published April 23, 2013 in Frank Porter Graham

Belfast Telegraph: ‘World Muslim leader congratulates Pope Francis and the Catholic Church’
Posted by Zia H. Shah MD - Twitter: @ZiahShah1 
His Holiness, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad Collected by Adam Walker, UK Source: The Belfast Telegraph World Head of the Ahmadiyya
Muslim Jamaat and Fifth Successor of the Promised Messiah, His Holiness, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said: I would like to offer congratulations to Pope Francis I and to Catholics across the world. May the appointment of the new Pope prove to be blessed not just for Christians but for all people across the globe. May the new Pope lead the Church towards the true teachings of Christianity. May the appointment of the new Pope prove to be blessed not just for Christians but for all people across the globe. May the new Pope lead the Church towards the true teachings of Christianity. I hope and pray that in the forthcoming era the Pope uses his influence to develop peace and harmony in the world.
There is a great need to join together upon our common teachings and particularly upon the
Unity of God. Rather than increase division, the world desperately needs unity and compassion. This is something that I wrote to Pope Benedict XVI in a letter I sent to him in 2011. In my letter to the Pope I also requested him to use his great influence to bring the people of the world together towards peace, reconciliation and mutual understanding and to strive to prevent the world from destruction. I send the same message to the new Pope as well. In terms of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community (Jamaat), we have always been at the forefront of promoting inter-faith harmony and striving
for peace. We always co-operate with all people and organisations who desire peace and tolerance and will forever continue to do so. Once again I congratulate Pope Francis and the Catholic Church and pray that the appointment proves to be a source of peace for the entire world.
