TSUSHIMA, AICHI PREF. – A Muslim group held a ceremony Friday to unveil a newly built mosque in Tsushima, Aichi Prefecture.

The mosque, which can accommodate 500 people, is one of largest in Japan, according to the Ahmadiyya Muslim community in Japan.

Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad, worldwide head of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, said at the ceremony that last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris were cruel and that those who kill innocent people will provoke the anger of God.

The sword is not what is needed for the spread of Islam, he said.

Muslims from a total of 27 countries as well as local residents, Buddhist monks and shrine representatives attended the ceremony.
