MARCH 27, 2017 PRESS RELEASES
Rather than erecting walls that keep us apart, we should build bridges that bring us closer together” – Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad

On 25 March 2017, Ahmadiyya Khalifah, Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad (may Allah be his Helper) delivered the keynote address at the 14th National Peace Symposium, hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community UK....The event was held at the Baitul Futuh Mosque in London with an audience of more than 1,000 people, from 30 countries, including over 600 non-Ahmadi guests comprising Government Ministers, Ambassadors of State, Members of both Houses of Parliament and various other dignitaries and guests.

During the event, His Holiness presented Ms. Setsuko Thurlow, a Hiroshima bomb survivor, and peace activist, with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for the Advancement of Peace in recognition of her outstanding efforts in campaigning for nuclear disarmament.

During his address, His Holiness condemned recent terrorist attack in London as a “barbaric atrocity” and labeled all forms of extremism and terrorism as a complete violation of Islamic teachings.

Further, His Holiness expressed his grief at continued warfare in the Muslim world, as well as voicing his fears about increasing tensions in the rest of the world. His Holiness also called on world powers to curb the sale of weapons and arms. He said that sadly with the passing of time, it seems that we are losing our ability to listen and to tolerate opposing views and perspectives. Opening the channels of communication and facilitating dialogue is essential.
