Anyone who commits violence in the name of faithis acting on “a false narrative and false understandingof faith,” according to keynote speaker Imam AzharHaneef during a dinner and discussion of “True Islamand the Extremists” Wednesday at the Villa at Moun-tain Lakes.

Speaking to a near-capacity audience filled withlaw-enforcement and elected leaders from through-out New Jersey, Haneef was representing the Ahma-diyya Muslims in New Jersey as vice president of theAhmadiyya Muslim Community’s national organiza-tion.

Religion has always asked us to prac-tice love, harmony, justice and peace and good will on
