Bomb Attempt
By: Saad Karamat

Seeing a Muslim's attempt to harm my fellow Americans reinforces the increasing need for the Muslims for Peace campaign to be given publicity. It is a campaign that actively promotes loyalty to America among Muslim-Americans.

In being cognizant of Prophet Muhammad's emphatic declaration, "He who obeys his authority obeys me," as an Ahmadi Muslim, I cringe when my fellow Muslim students at Berkeley hesitate to show their loyalty to America. If the next generation of educated Muslims is confused about this fundamental tenet of Islam, what hope lies for the rest?

I see the glass half full. Moderate Muslims: Wake up and examine what the Muslims for Peace campaign is all about.

More confusion on fundamental tenets of Islam will only lead to more Mohamed Mohamuds and those like him. Islam is about "Love for all, hatred for none."
