Attacks On Church Are A Misguided Effort
By: Khalid Bhatti

It is said, “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

As a member of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, I condemn al-Qaeda’s massacre of 60 worshippers assembled at the Our Lady of Salvation Church in Iraq.

This horrendous act was perpetrated in the name of Islam, whereas the Quran categorically sanctions the protection of all places of worship, specifically churches (22:40-41). This is yet another example of Al Qaeda’s exploitation of Islam to promote their unholy agenda.

I offer my condolences to the families of the victims. Unfortunately, we live in an age of “guided missiles and misguided men.”
