Ahmadiyya Muslim Community to run an exhibition in Village of Kinver as a part of its United Against Extremism campagin on Saturday
One of Britain’s oldest Muslim communities, founded over a century ago as the peaceful renaissance of Islam, is launching a new campaign to counter extremist rhetoric and literally drive home a message of peace
Mubashar Nadeem, the president of AM elders association and auxiliary organization of Ahmadiyya community halesowen said “As a Muslim community, we believe that it is our duty to serve this country and to stop extremism, particularly in the name of Islam, which teaches us peace, loyalty, freedom, equality, respect and love for all,” he says.
“We stand united with all who oppose extremists because our strength stems from our unity. The campaign will send a clear message that IS has nothing to do with Islam and that extremism will never succeed.”The campaign that has featured a full-page advertisement in national press, will also see the distribution of half a million leaflets across the UK, to highlight Islam’s rejection of extremism and its emphasis on peace.
The event is set to begin with a presentation that will introduce attendees to the history of the UK’s Ahmadiyya Muslim community, whose motto is “love for all, hatred for none”.
Displays promoting peace with translated excerpts of Qu’ranic verses along with other literature will then be viewable.
The exhibition will be held on May 7, from 11.30am to 1.30pm.
