Editor’s note: Representatives of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Zion said they were “deeply troubled” by the arrests this week of two Zion men on charges of plotting to assist ISIS. We asked Junayd Latif, director of propagation for the community, to answer questions about the organization, Islam and the group’s effort, called “True Islam,” to counter radicalization. The following are questions we asked and Latif’s responses.
Q: What is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in Zion?
A: We are the Zion chapter of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, Muslims who believe in the Messiah Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, India, who established the community in 1889. Our chapter began in the mid- to late 1980s, after being started originally in Waukegan in the '70s. Ahmadi Muslims believe a divine system of elected leadership called khilafat (successorship) is the key to their ability to maintain a unified message and a high level of organization that is reflected in the many accomplishments they've made in a relatively short period of time.
