                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL T. McCAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 11, 2020

  Mr. McCAUL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the important 
work of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. Specifically, I want to 
recognize the important partnership between the Ahmadiyya Muslim 
Community and the Red Cross, as well as congratulate them on 
celebrating their Centennial in the United States.
  For the past 10 years, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the Red 
Cross have teamed up to host the ``Muslims for Life'' Blood Drive 
Campaign to remember the lives lost on 9/11. I am proud to work 
alongside the dedicated members of this community as they push to 
spread the message of peace and global unity. It is through their 
message of religious tolerance and freedom where we can truly bring 
people together in peaceful harmony.
  It is through actions like that I stand as a proud member of the bi-
partisan Congressional Ahmadiyya Muslim Caucus, which works with the 
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to protect religious freedom and fight 
against religious intolerance.
  Through the work in the Caucus, I have been fortunate to meet His 
Holiness Mirza Masroor Ahmad, who serves as the fifth Khalifa of the 
Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. As the spiritual leader of the community, 
his message of global peace and devotion to human rights radiates to 
his millions of members around the world.
  As we persevere in the movement for human rights and religious 
tolerance across the globe, I am grateful to continue this partnership 
with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and thank them for their positive 
work in our communities.
