To prevent terrorism now and in the future, we need to turn to nonviolent measures that do not perpetuate the problem. Such measures exit and they are viable. Let's talk.

Head of Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat delivers Historic Address in Southern California
Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad presented with key to Los Angeles
The Head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat and Fifth Khalifa, Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad delivered the keynote address at a special reception held in his honour at the Montage in Beverly Hills, LA on 11 May 2013.
More than 300 politicians, academics and community leaders attended, including the California Lieutenant Governor, mayoral candidate Eric Garcetti, and several members of the United States Congress.
During the event the Los Angeles City Council presented Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad with the golden key to the city, declaring:
Muslim leader calls for media responsibility in fight against extremismmuzaffertahir9
His Holiness also presented Ms Hadeel Qassim, with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for the Advancement of Peace in recognition of her outstanding efforts to personally alleviate the suffering of thousands of refugee children stranded in dangerous and inhospitable camps in the Middle East.
During his address, His Holiness spoke of the fundamental need for justice and equity at all levels of society in order for genuine and long-lasting peace to be established.
He called on the media to use its influence
“as a force for good and a force for peace”
by publicising the positive activities of the majority of Muslims across the world as opposed to the
“tiny minority”
who were perpetrating mass cruelties falsely in the name of Islam.
Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said:
“In the very first chapter of the Holy Quran, it is stated that Allah the Almighty is the ‘Provider and Sustainer of all the worlds’. He is the Gracious and Ever Merciful. Thus, when Allah the Almighty is the Provider and Sustainer of all people and the Gracious and Merciful – how could it be that He desired for those who believed in Him to mercilessly murder, violently oppose or harm His Creation in any way? Of course the answer is that it is not possible.”

Given the recent tragic shooting in Orlando, my office distributed this presentation with guidance from the NYPD on what to do in an active shooter situation.
We must avoid the temptation to engage in simplistic assumptions and/or consequent conclusions that what Islam is in the text is what the religion is in different contexts of Muslim societies across the contemporary world. It is however arguable to say that the greater issue confronting the Islamic world today is that of violent extremism or terrorism. The latter, which has variously been described as “Islamic Jihadist” movement, has enjoyed much popularity for improving cross-cultural dialogue across the world but notoriety for its promotion of violence. Represented in the West African sub-region by the Boko Haram group, the activities of these so-called Islamic movements have equally raised questions about original teachings of Islam – the precepts and principles established by Prophet Muhammad for interreligious dialogue and perhaps most importantly the position of Islam on freedom of, in and within religion. This presentation explores and engages the dialectics in these perspectives, rereads factors for the incidence of violent extremism in the West African sub-region and offer suggestions by which the region could achieve greater intercultural and interreligious rapprochement, through the exploration of intra-Islamic peace-building strategies and instruments.

Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Editor's Notes
Welcome. To set the mood for today’s forum, here’s a drawing by Pablo Picasso, Les Mains Liées, literally, Joined Hands -- The hands joined in solidarity form a sort of protective frame for the dove, symbol of peace.The horrific 911 attacks took place ten years ago today. Since that tragic date in 2001, terrorism seems to have become an everyday topic. Hardly a day goes by without the report of a terroristic act occurring somewhere in the world or of a nation state’s attempt to stamp out terror. If you are among those who lost loved ones either in the 911 attacks or in connection with any ensuing military action, we extend to you our heartfelt condolences. If you have friends or loved ones currently serving in the armed forces and stationed in any area of conflict, we offer our prayers for their safety and we offer you our support as you wait for their return. Today we would like to reflect on and talk about the world as we have experienced it since 9/11/2001, those persons and groups identified as enemies, and how our nation (as well as others) has responded to the threat of terrorism.We will also brainstorm for possible nonviolent responses to terrorism. We are aware that the issues are complex, and we are not here to offer easy answers. We do wish, however, to provide a safe space for considering options that get little discussion time in the mass media or political arenas. It is to be expected that differing –even diametrically opposed—views may be expressed this forum. We ask that all participants be permitted to express their opinions without judgment, criticism, or contentiousness.
Show 30-sec YouTube clip of planes colliding with Twin Towers on 9/11/2011.
Take a few moments to write down your thoughts in response to the questions on the handout. As we progress through sections of today’s workshop we will share our responses.What (if anything) has anything changed for you personally as a result of 911?What changes have you perceived in the world in which you live? Do you feel that human beings are essentially violent by nature?What was your understanding of al Qaeda right after 911? Has your understanding of this organization changed since then? Can you define terrorism? How is it different from an everyday violent crime, such as a murder or an assault? How is it different from conventional warfare? What do you think motivates persons or groups to commit terroristic acts? What do you think of when you hear the term “War on Terror”? What strategies have been used by our nation and our allies since 911? What have been the outcomes?
Ask members of the audience to share their answers to the first 3 questions:What (if anything) has anything changed for you personally as a result of 911?What changes have you perceived in the world in which you live? Do you feel that human beings are essentially violent by nature?
Ask members of the audience to share their answer to:What was your understanding of al Qaeda right after 911? Has your understanding of this organization changed since then?
Al-Qaeda means “The Base”Our government actually encouraged Saudi Arabia and other Arab states to gather religiously motivated forces to fight the “godless communists” in Afghanistan. The United States wanted Arab states, on our behalf, to organize a holy war against Soviet troops.In addition to the al-Qaeda cells throughout the world, so-called “home-grown” terrorist cells, intending to emulate al-Qaeda, have sprung up. The 2004 attack in Madrid and the 2005 attack in London were carried out by terrorists with no connection to al-Qaeda. These new cells of terrorists are far less competent than the terrorists trained by al-Qaeda, but also less predictable in terms of where and when they might attack. The network of al-Qaeda cells has been seriously disrupted since 2001. The International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates that “half of al-Qaeda’s 30 senior leaders and 2,000 rank-and-file members were killed or captured in the months after 9.11,” but there are thousands of al-Qaeda trained terrorists ready to take their places.
Ask some members of the audience to share their answers to these questions:Can you define terrorism? How is it different from an everyday violent crime, such as a murder or an assault? How is it different from conventional warfare? What do you think motivates persons or groups to commit terroristic acts? Terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. (dictionary.com)the systematic use of violence as a means to intimidate or coerce societies or governments (Online Political Dictionary)
The goals of these terrorists are apocalyptic and unlimited.These terrorists see their acts in terms of good versus evil, and they are willing to distort religious language to further their cause. The use of the word “jihad” is an example. Muslims use the word, jihad, to refer to three types of struggle: an internal struggle to maintain faith, the struggle to improve the Muslim society, or the struggle to defend Islam. The mass killing of innocent people to defend Islam is not a principle of the Muslim faith, and holding all Muslims responsible for the behavior of al-Qaeda is like holding all Christians responsible for those Christians who went to Uganda last year to support the hanging of homosexuals. .” As hard as it may be to accept this and to discuss the political grievances that lead some to commit barbaric acts, we must do so if we are to have any chance of winning the fight against terrorism. “The al-Qaeda political agenda is rooted in an extreme reaction to Western domination and local despotism,” Cortright and Lopez write. Al-Qaeda is a response to the humiliation and resentment felt by many in the Arab and Muslim world over the occupation of Arab countries by Western powers, and the support of Middle Eastern tyrants by Western Powers.

Ask members of the audience to share their responses to the questions:What do you think of when you hear the term “War on Terror”? What strategies have been used by our nation and our allies since 911? What have been the outcomes?Distinguish between two groups: active terrorists, the hard-core militants, and those who support them, sympathize with them, and are possible enlistees into the hard-core group. Diminish the inner circle without motivating those on the outside to join the inner core. Separate the hard-core militants from their sympathizers, and this means taking a “political approach that addresses deeply felt grievances, promotes democratic governance, and supports sustainable economic development.”Not suggesting a policy of negotiating with hard-core militants, those whose aim is mass slaughter. Rather, “filling political vacuums with diplomatic activity to drive a wedge between the hard-core militants and their sympathizers, potential recruits.
