A Message of Peace and a Word of Warning: Flames of War Must be Extinguished to Avoid Global Conflict, Warns Islamic Leader

LONDON (via PRNewswire) -- The 9th. annual National Peace Symposium at Western Europe's biggest mosque is scheduled to go as planed on March 24.

An urgent call to stem the tide of regional conflicts and to counter extremism by tackling the root causes will be made in London's Baitul Futuh Mosque in Morden.

The  Khalifa of Islam and the head of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community His Holiness Hadhrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad has continuously cautioned the the world leaders about the runaway injustices in the world.
