"Ahmadiyya Muslims are known around the globe for their adherence to their motto of 'Love for All, Hatred for None. '. . . " T ony P. Hall, Memb e r of th e United States Congr es s. "Over the years , I have become acquainted with the many charitable and humanitar i an works of Ahmadiyya Muslims throughout the world. In particular , I have great respect for the Ahmadiyyat Muslim Community in the Dayton , Ohio area which I represent in the United States House of Representatives. Ahmadiyya Mus li ms are a vi brant fo r ce in ou r commun it y and have made many contr i butions to t he we ll- being of our re s idents. Ahmad i yya Mu sl ims are kn own around the gl obe fo r the ir adhe r ence to the ir motto of 'Love f or A ll, Hat r ed for None. '. . . " Tony P. Hall , Member of the United States Congress. "The organization and missionary achieve- ments of the Movement are remarkable. The later represents the most successful Islamic proselytizing effort of the twentieth century and led to the establishment of branches in Europe , North America , the Caribbean , Af- rica , Southeast Asia and Pacific Basin. The vigor of its missionary enterpr i se arose from the audac i ous un i versalism and se lf -confi - dence of Ghu l am Ahmad, which i mpa r ted a global dimension to the sp ir it ual vision and the ab ili ty of his ear ly fo l lowers. Dr. Stanley E. Brush in The Enc y clopedia of Religions. "The Ahmadiyya Community has endeav - ored to exert a constructive influence through social projects , educational institutions and health services. Its missionary zeal is to be commended and so is its call for universal brotherhood. Ahmadiyyas has been tested by the fire of persecution and the ice of descrimi- nat i on. I like their emphas is on friendship, equal i ty , to l erance and the ir opposition , in contrast to some other relig i ous leaders, to bi gotry and fanatic i sm. I we l come the Ah- m adiyya support to human rights, i nclud i ng r eligious liberty-- the basic human r ight which undergrids and supports all other human rights. " Dr. B. B. Beach , Secretary General Interna- tional Religious Liberty Association.
