Ridgewood NJ, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA stands in solidarity with Jewish Americans this weekend as the second Jewish cemetery in the last week was vandalized. Reports indicate that over 100 tombs were broken or destroyed at the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Philadelphia, PA.

“We are deeply troubled by these rising and ongoing attacks on our Jewish sisters and brothers and members from our Philadelphia chapter are in route to assist in clean up,” said Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, national vice president for the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA. “We call upon all Americans to stand united against this hatred and extremism.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community issued a statement on January 19th expressing deep concern over the waves of bomb threats at Jewish centers around the country. Sadly, these bomb threats have since continued. We stand ready to serve and protect our Jewish sisters and brothers against these acts of intolerance and hatred, and pray for our nation’s safety.

Ridgewood NJ, The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA applauds President Obama’s historic mosque visit. President Obama’s visit comes at a time of rising Islamophobia and anti-Muslim violence. The President championed freedom of religion for all faiths, our collective responsibility to speak up against discrimination in a unified voice, and reassured American Muslim youth that they belong here. “As President of the United States, let me clear, you fit in right here,” said President Obama, “You belong here. You’re part of America. You’re not Muslim or American. You’re Muslim and American. Stay engaged in your community.  Help move our country, your country, forward.”

“This speech and visit is a reassurance for all American Muslims and indeed all Americans,” said Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, National Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, “We must act on President Obama’s remarks about setting aside sectarian differences, remaining united, and teaching our youth to be proud American Muslims. We invite all our fellow Americans, regardless of faith, to embrace this unity by endorsing the True Islam campaign.”

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA launched the “True Islam and the Extremists” campaign in December 2015 to unite Muslims and non-Muslims. To date, thousands have endorsed the True Islam campaign, including several members of Congress, police chiefs, and community activists. The True Islam campaign educates all Americans about true Islam, distinguish it from extremism, and to promote national security. We invite all Americans to visit www.TrueIslam.comand endorse the eleven points.
