‘My fellow Americans’ website
I have received the following e-mail.
As I’m sure you are aware, America has always been a melting pot, but in the post-9/11 world the environment can be downright hostile. Recent mosque protests and congressional hearings on American Muslims are all unfortunate examples of a rising tide of fear towards our fellow Americans. To address this, we’ve put together a video response which I believe you and the readers of The Lahore Ahmadiyya Movement Blog will be interested in sharing, watching, and discussing:
I would love it if you could post or tweet about this and share the video. If you can, please let me know. I am here if you have any questions. Thank you so much.

From Amna:
the root cause for such behaviour is that those who hold influential positions in society fail to uphold the universal values but resort to their prejudices against others – abuse others and even commit atrocious act against them.
the easy solution for the mess we r in is if there is penalty for giving wrong testimonies – especially for those who are trusted with administering affairs of society.
eg around 3 million iraqis wud not ve died if there was check on US establishment – the wmd lies.
wrong testimonies are great source of spreading violence. we all ve the right to get ‘informed comment’ not ‘distorted’ which sparks hatred and violence.
