Hi there,

I agree with both of you that more should be studied of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, for i am a member myself. i don't know how well testimonies go for you, but i can assure you 100% that the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community adheres to total peace in all aspects of religious life. this is our innate understanding of how Islam showed be practiced ever since its inception.

terrorism and violent jihad are seen as gross misinterpretations of Islam and consequently have no reality with the peaceful religion of Islam, whatsoever. also, i noted that a comment had been made that the funding comes form external sources. this is totally false. the community raises its own funds by its national members. not a cent ever comes from external sources. to further establish this point, the Ahmadiyya Community is banished from Muslim countries as a heretical sect and is severely persecuted in those regions.
