The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA is spreading the word that, despite all the bad press — by way of terrorist attacks, honor killings, and the like — Muslims have a duty to be peaceful and loyal to the United States.
What’s sad is that this is newsworthy, at this late date.
What's sadder is that Muslims don't consider Ahmadis to be their peers. Sunnis and Shias explicitly consider the Ahmadis to be non-Muslim:
All Sunni and Shia Muslims reject the claim of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community that Mirza Ghulam Ahmad was a Messiah. They reject the doctrine of the continuity of prophethood and consider Ghulam Ahmad and thus his followers to be non-Muslims. In 1974, Pakistan's parliament amended the country's constitution to legally define Ahmadis as non-Muslims: "A person who does not believe in the absolute and unqualified finality of the Prophethood of Muhammad... or claims to be a Prophet... or recognizes such a claimant as a Prophet or religious reformer, is not a Muslim..."
