“The Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat utterly condemns this latest attack on Islam by the Dutch politician Mr Geert Wilders. At a time when the world is crying out for peace, such provocative acts can only further destabilise the world and destroy its peace and harmony.

“We Ahmadi Muslims constantly call for peace, justice and tolerance at all levels of society and as such I reiterate that today’s world is in grave danger and so all people should work towards fostering a society based on love, compassion and mutual respect. All parties should work towards ending all forms of hatred and should openly condemn any statements or acts that can cause pain and suffering.” (Global Muslim Leader Condemns Latest Attack on Islam By Dutch Politician Geert Wilders, pressahmadiyya.com)
