Ahmadi

Since starting my current reasearch project, I've come across a few more jerks than is normal for this time of year. (Maybe the migratory pattern has changed? Should look into that.) Several were Ahmadi- haters, which inspired me to show some Ahmadi love. Hug an Ahmadi today!

Why I (heart) Ahmadis:

1. They were the first to make translations of the Qur'an readily available to American Muslims. Yusuf Ali's translation wasn't readily (i.e. cheapily and widely) available until well after Maulana Muhammad Ali's work was in the hands of many.
2. They have better written literature to introduce people to Islam; their stuff also tends to lack the psychedelic cover art that the Wahhabis put out. That stuff, however, is great when you put on Hendrix and whip out a pint of Ben & Jerry's. Awesome, man.
