Excerpt:
Imam Hammad Ahmad contends that Muslim clerics have, for the past 1,400 years, perverted the true meaning of Islam.
Islam, he said in an interview this week, is a religion of peace, not of war.
Ahmad is among those who are addressing several thousand members at this year's Ahmadiyya Muslim Community convention currently taking place at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. The theme of the event is "Religion, Freedom and Peace."
