Chino-based Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA is reacting with its own counter-narrative, a program called True Islam, said spokesman Amjad Mahmood Khan.
“ISIS commits these acts in the name of Islam,” he said. “Their message needs to be marginalized, isolated and attacked with a strong counter-narrative, which is what we’re trying to do.”
Members of the mosque have been going into communities and neighborhoods to talk about the true principles of Islam.
“More importantly, we’re challenging American Muslims to do more, to walk the talk and be clear-eyed about the problem,” Khan said. “There is a cancer in the body politic of Islam and we need to get rid of this cancer.”
