Program aims to teach differences between true Islam, extremism
The Women’s Auxiliary of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Dallas is holding a mosque open house from 3-5 p.m. Sunday at Baitul Ikram Mosque, 1850 Hedgecoxe Road in Allen, with a presentation and Q&A session on the True Islam and the Extremists campaign.
The open house is an opportunity for all American women to visit a mosque and ask Muslim women any questions they may have about Islam. Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson will be the guest of honor.
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, the nation’s largest Muslim organization, has launched a comprehensive campaign to separate true Islam from extremism. The True Islam and the Extremists campaign educates Americans and Muslim Americans on the peaceful, anti-extremist teachings of Islam by clarifying 11 of the most common misconceptions extremists use to radicalize youth.
The campaign rejects the notion that “original” Islam is a violent ideology and that reconciling Islam with modern values requires an “Islam 2.0.” Through the campaign, organizers seek to inform Americans (particularly youth) of the correct Islamic understanding, as taught by the Holy Qur’an and the Prophet Muhammad.
The True Islam campaign demonstrates with action and a proven model that no conflict exists between American and Islamic values. It educates the public and combats radicalization in both Muslim and non-Muslim Americans, which strengthens national security.
It is a women-only event. Attendees can RSVP to Ismat Mahmood by emailing dallastabligh@lajnausa.net or calling 214-326-9152.
