Muslims for Life Campaign, Ahmadi-Muslims To Help Americans in Need for the Second Year in a Row
Ahmadi-Muslims strive to help their fellow Americans by collecting blood. These Muslims ignore negative attitudes as they look forward to positive outcomes.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is honoring the victims of 9/11 by holding blood donor clinics in Georgia to collect 1,500 units of blood. The goal is higher this year, which ups the ante. Last year's goal was 1,100.
Last year the Ahmadis feared that they might not reach their goal, but they have no doubts this year. They just plan on holding more clinics until they reach their goal.

While some Libyan Muslims rage against a tawdry video called "Innocence of Muslims," because it insults the Holy Prophet, (pbuh) it is reassuring to see that the Ahmadi-Muslims only have peaceful intentions.
They want Americans to understand that the real message of Islam is "Love for All, Hatred for None."
Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the fifth caliph and the worldwide head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community furthered this philosophy by pushing for religious tolerance worldwide in his most recent sermon, September 21st, 2012, from London, England. (www.mta.tv)
The caliph criticized the Libyan Muslims, saying that it did not make sense to "cause destruction to their own country." Rather, the Libyans should have demonstrated steadfastness and forebearance, as exhibited by Muhammad, (pbuh) the prophet of Islam.
