The Ahmadiyya Association for Propagation of Islam is a moderate Islamic organisation which, for over one hundred years, has campaigned against use of force and violence to further any cause, especially the cause of religion.
We believe that it is only by motivating people and changing their hearts that lasting change can be brought about as was done by the Holy Prophet Muhammad. It has branches in many countries, including the United Kingdom.

Dr Zahid Aziz, editor of The Light which is the organ of the UK branch of the association, has been corresponding with his member of parliament, Nick Palmer, about the true Islamic teachings regarding the relationship between Muslims and non-Muslims. Dr Aziz wrote to Mr Palmer and asked him to congratulate Mr Gordon Brown, the Prime Minister, for not blaming the general Muslim population for violent actions of a few individuals. Dr Aziz’s comments were brought up during the Prime Minister’s Question Time. Please follow the link to see details:
