This month, I took a six-hour car ride down to Harrisburg, Pa., to be a part of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's 69th national convention.

Known as Jalsa Salana USA, the three-day gathering is the nation's longest-running Muslim convention. With over 70 local chapters in 30 states, there were 8,700 people in the Farm Show Complex and Expo Center from virtually every region of the country along with people from 34 different countries.

Those who have attended Jalsa are aware of the rich environment it offers, and don't want to miss out on the experience. In fact, every year some non-Muslim friends from the Capital Region come along as guests to see the brotherhood and sisterhood that go along with Jalsa, where people of all races, creeds and ethnicities embrace one another, whether they are old-time comrades or brand-new friends.
