We have also since kicked off a nationwide campaign called “Stop the CrISIS” which features lectures at university campuses, high schools, libraries and other venues across the country to open dialogue and to educate our nation on the fundamental concepts of Islam.

The hostage incident that recently occurred in Australia and the massacre of schoolchildren in Peshawar, Pakistan, signal a trend toward radicalization in Muslim youth around the world. As members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) USA, we strongly condemn any act that even gravitates toward violence.
To address this global issue, AMYA recently held an event in New York where it addressed delegations of many countries to the U.N. on the topic of Islamic solutions for Muslim youth radicalization. We have also since kicked off a nationwide campaign called “Stop the CrISIS” which features lectures at university campuses, high schools, libraries and other venues across the country to open dialogue and to educate our nation on the fundamental concepts of Islam.
The hostage CrISIS in Australia and massacre in Pakistan are not only evidence, but they also substantiate a global need to increase this education. We encourage and welcome all peace-loving nations, communities and people to join us in this effort.
