Muslim thanks America
Mansoor Ishfaq

On Independence Day, on my way to the mosque for morning prayer, I passed a fireworks stand. I stopped and prayed, "May God bless America," the country where I can pray without fear.

I belong to the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, whose members endure systematic state-sanctioned persecution in much of the Muslim world. Accordingly, many Ahmadi Muslims have migrated to America and thus are able to practice their faith without any fear.

I would like to salute America's founders, who established this great country, where people from all over the world, regardless of their religion, color or creed, can live side by side in peace.
