Born and raised as an Ahmadi Muslim in Canada, it pains me to see these so-called Islamic “Jihadists” giving a bad name to all Muslims. How can Al Baghdadi, ISIS leader, claim to be a Caliph with his corrupt ways? Mirza Masroor Ahmad, my Caliph, and the Caliph of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, has already occupied the “Caliph seat”, and is doing a phenomenal job by spreading the message of freedom of conscience, love, and compassion.Mirza Masroor Ahmad is the leading figure of peace among all Muslims and has rightfully condemned the bitter actions of ISIS and all terrorist groups alike. Abu Bakr does not instill the love of God in the hearts of people (the job of a Caliph), rather he instills fear in people. I believe God chose Mirza Masroor Ahmad as His Caliph, and terrorists chose Bagdadi. My fellow Muslims, the pick is yours.
