Ahmadiyya Muslim Association host peace conference at Kings Langley school
11:12am Friday 30th April 2010 in
A peace conference has been held by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association at a school in Kings Langley.
The organisation, based in Watford, held the event at Kings Langley Primary School in Common Lane, on Sunday, April 25.
A number of residents from across the county attended the event to hear Faiz Ahmad Zahid, the regional missionary for Hertfordshire, deliver a speech about Islamic perspective on loyalty to country and religion.
Visitors were also introduced briefly to the teachings of Islam and their relevance in modern society.
Following this, a question and answer session was held with four representatives from the Ahmadiyya community.
Lutful Islam, a spokesman for the Ahmadiyya movement, founded in the nineteenth century, said: “There are over 90 branches of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community throughout the UK and they actively work to spread the peaceful message of Islam.
“It is our belief that tolerance and respect are the foundations of a peaceful society and we are committed to working with people of all faiths to enable everyone to practice their religion without hindrance.
“All guests were very happy at this opportunity to meet the Ahmadiyya community.”

@anon34, the school was paid for hiring the facilities. It was held on a Sunday and the school had nothing to do with it.

Dear Electors
I should like to remind you of the Liberal Democrats' support of the Afghan war. To quote their leader Clegg's words "As leader of the Liberal Democrats, I have been keen to maintain the cross-party consensus on Afghanistan that formed after September 11, and has not faltered since". He said this in July last year. Much more recently he stated his support for a continuation of the war for at least another twelve months, and no doubt he would be willing to barter his party's votes for extending the war for as long as the leaders of Labour and the Conservatives wish to continue to bow down to American foreign policy.
If you wish to show solidarity with your co-religionists in Afghanistan you should vote for the British National Party's candidate at the general election, since the BNP is the only party to pledge immediate withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan, other than the homosexuality-promot
ing Green party.
Although it is true that when the BNP forms its administration it will prevent the building of further mosques in Britain, surely 1,500 is sufficient. The burqa shall also be banned in public places, but this applies in many Muslim countries, and in any case most Muslim women do not wear the burqa.
Yours faithfully
Dr A Emerson
BNP parliamentary candidate for Watford
