Terrorism has no place in Islam

Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American Muslim has been linked to the failed Times Square car bombing. It has always baffled me how these terrorists continue to use the religion of Islam, a religion that requires all its followers to be loyal, law-abiding and peace-loving citizens of their respected countries, to promote violence.

As a member of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the United States I would like to take this opportunity to condemn in strongest words possible any and all acts of terrorism.
