congregated at a farm in the United Kingdom for
 a three-day event protesting ISIS and religious  
extremism, the Independent reported. The 
protest was part of the 50th annual 
gathering for Ahmadiyya Muslims.
The Ahmadiyya sect was founded in India in 
1889 and faced persecution and violence from 
religious extremists in countries abroad. 
Despite their plight, the religious movement's 
official motto is "Love for all, hatred for none" 
and their philosophy is rooted in tolerance 
over extremism. 
Media coverage of this large-scale gathering 
was barely covered in mainstream U.S. news. 
Even though this image flies in the face of 
ask for Muslims to speak out against Islamic 
terrorism. The truth is Muslims have condemned 
extremism repeatedly, and many people are
 just not listening. 
Muslims have condemned the 
extremism. In Belgium, Muslims condemned 
These statements have happened so often 
that in 2012, a professor at the University of 
global Muslim community.

Islamic extremism.

And if you're still not convinced, there's a whole 
listing cases where, you know, Muslims have 
condemning terrorism and other acts of hatred.
Clearly, the question shouldn't be whether Muslims
from "Islamic extremism" — are condemning
 terrorism worldwide.
Instead, we should be affirming Muslims that 
the burden of responsibility does not fall on 
their shoulders.
