Muslim Sect Members Spread Message At The Fair (wisn.com)

Posted in Media, Online, Print on Dec 14th, 2010
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Young members of a Muslim sect delivered a message of peace Friday at the Wisconsin State Fair. The Ahmadiyya Muslim community’s message is no more terrorism. But that’s a message not everyone here at the fair is buying. “I didn’t really open (the pamphlet). I read it. I knew it was a Muslim issue, and it bothers me a little bit,” one fairgoer said. “Whenever you hand someone something they’re going to be thinking, What is this?” said Maanaan Sabir. “There’s a brick wall up.

Being an Ahmadi Muslim from America, I was deeply disturbed to read your report “Hardliners call for deaths of Surrey Muslims” (21 October). This is too much change since my last visit to London in April. Over the past six months, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has launched a bus campaign with our slogan “Love for all, hatred for none” in London. The same bus campaign then took to the streets of New York, Wisconsin and Houston in the USA. Our youth went door-knocking with “Muslims for Peace” leaflets.
