On Oct. 9 and 10, there were around 20 anti-Muslim protests planned across the United States. They were being called rallies for &#8220;humanity,&#8221; urging &#8220;patriots&#8221; to protest in front of mosques.There is nothing patriotic about armed protests in front of houses of worship. The prophet Muhammad&#8217;s statement, &#8220;Love for your country is a part of faith,&#8221; is true patriotism. The motto of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, &#8220;Love for all, hatred for none,&#8221; is patriotism.Toting guns in front of your fellow citizens doesn&#8217;t even exemplify common decency, let alone patriotism.Asadulla ChaudharyMemberMuslim Writers Guild of AmericaPhiladelphia
