Muslims for Life

RECEIVED Wed., Sept. 14, 2011

Dear Editor,
    It is a quite a popular slogan amongst Muslims to state that Islam means peace. Being reminded every year of the atrocious event that took place on September 11, 2001, makes this statement hard to believe. However, what happened contradicted the practice of Prophet Muhammad.
    In fact, he instructed Muslims to protect Christians and even insisted they observe prayer services in his mosque. Despite the activity of some radicals, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA is working hard to exemplify Muhammad's teachings. Accordingly, the community is hosting a nationwide campaign entitled Muslims for Life. The goal is to collect 10,000 bags of blood to commemorate the lives of those lost and emphasize Muhammad's teachings. Join us in this endeavor.
