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.
