To the Editor:

The democratic process is an amazing process, one that is able to promote its first African American president. As I congratulate President Barack Obama on his re-election and wish him success, I also encourage him to keep justice in mind while in office, both here and abroad. This is not a liberty all nations afford their citizens.

In Pakistan, for example, the government actively and unjustly persecutes the minority Ahmadiyya Muslim Community – only for their faith. As Americans, we should be thankful that we don’t have to be concerned for our lives simply because of our faith, or lack thereof.
