On a bright, beautiful autumn day earlier this month, I had the privilege of gathering with thousands of members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in the city of Zion, Ill. for the dedication of Fath-e-Azeem Mosque. The day marked a momentous occasion for this community of faithful Muslims, who – despite their focus on teachings of peace, love, tolerance, and justice – face terrible persecution in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and many other Muslim-majority countries of the world.
