The Muslim scholars strongly condemned terror in the name of Islam. Mohammed Muslehuddin Saadi, Ahmadiyya Missionary from Hyderabad speaking on the second day of the 119th Annual Ahmadiyya Convention said that Jihad is the most misunderstood concept and Islam never promotes violence."

Islam is a religion of peace and harmony. The word ‘Jihad’ itself means make efforts to achieve something.", said he. He further added that 'Forcible conversion of people to Islam is absolutely unjustified and it can never be labeled as Jihad.”

THIS would be GOOD..if not for the nagging suspicion that its all for VOTES for BADAL. I wouldnt be surprised IF this "Akal Takhat" turned up at RSSB function too.....IF Guru Gurinder Singh told Badal thats the way he is going to get the RSSB votes..swordfight

It is too obvious that under the political agenda, the Jathedar has been assigned by his MASTER to get Muslim votes for the BADALS (SAD) ! The Muslims do not vote for and in fact resent BJP - RSS ( the SAD partners ) due to their Hindutva plans!
