Women and children are invited Saturday to the Women’s Symposium on Caring for the Needs of Children.

The free event is planned for 2 to 4 p.m., followed by a discussion and dinner, at Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Center, 19212 Highway 99, Lynnwood.

The forum is hosted by the Women’s Auxiliary of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Scheduled speakers include Rep. Mary Helen Roberts, D-Edmonds, Laura Doerflinger, a counselor specializing in early-childhood development and parenting, and others.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim community is established all over the world and has been promoting Islam’s message of peace, love and tolerance. Ahmadi Muslims reject violence, are loyal to their country of residence and support complete freedom of religion for all. The community wholly rejects the prevalent misinterpretation of the concept of Jihad, does not believe in conversion into or from another religion by force, and was the first Muslim organisation to condemn terrorism and suicide bombings.



There are an estimated 160 million Ahmadi Muslims living in 195 countries. The community runs schools, hospitals and clinics in many parts of the world. Through its charity, Humanity First, the community is actively involved in providing relief in disaster areas; organising water wells and running gift of sight programmes. In the UK and across the world , the Community has raised millions of dollars for charities such as Save the Children; Cancer Research and the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Currently the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is engaged with a wordwide doorstep awareness campaign to reassert true Islamic principles of peace, and to counter the extremists who hijack the faith for political ends. Buses in London and across the UK, as well as in New York and Los Angeles in the USA; and  in Canada  are carrying messages of loyalty, freedom and peace. Ahmadi Muslims are personally calling on millions of households and presenting people with a leaflet that highlights Islam’s commitment to fundamental values of: loyalty, freedom, equality, respect and peace. The campaign is supported by a new website www.LoveForAllHatredForNone.org and www.MulsimsForPeace.org.
