The Missionary in charge of the Ahmaddiya Muslim Mission in Liberia, Mr. Muhammad Akram Bajwah said that Jihadists of the Islamic Faith are not terrorists, but peaceful, gentle, and law-abiding people.
Mr. Bajwah noted that Jihadist faith, which is mainly practiced by the Palestinians, is part of the Muslim Faith that is only considered to be most violent group in the Muslim Faith. They believe that Prophet Muhammad, the True Messenger of Allah (God) that through him they can live with God in eternity.
Mr. Bajwah, who is head of the mission in Liberia, noted that the reason most people believe that those who practice the Islamic Faith are terrorists is simply because known acts of the terrorism are from the Middle East countries like Palestine, Iraq or countries where they are strongly established.
Speaking to hundreds of Muslims last Friday, December 30-31 of last year during their 5th Jaha Salana (Annual Convention) of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jammat - Liberia, held at the Shah Taj Ahmadiyya School on Camp Johnson Road in Monrovia.
The convention which was held under the theme: Peace, Reconciliation and Unity, was observed happily.
According to him the convention is observed worldwide, the observation of Jaha Salana is a mandate from Allah and is also intended to prepare Muslims around the world to observe the Hajj, which is a holistic gathering of millions of Muslims in Mecca in Saudi Arabia to worship Allah and carry on the tradition of Prophet Abraham.
The convention enabled attendants to personally experience religious benefit, to benefit through the congregational meetings, to promote mutual introduction among all brothers, and to strengthen the fraternity within the community. During the convention they discussed the truth message of Jesus Christ, as regard to Islam and the process of going to Mecca.
