Local meeting part of national campaign against radicalization

In recent months, the phenomenon of radicalization has become cause for concern across Canada, say organizers of a nationwide awareness campaign aimed at curbing Muslim extremism.

In October, Canadian Muslim convert Martin Rouleau killed a soldier in Quebec and extremist Michael Zehaf-Bibeau fatal shot a soldier on Parliament Hill. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Student Association has identified a need to take real and immediate action towards eradicating radicalization among a small segment of Muslim youth.

Its event “Stop the CrISIS,” combines live presenters and video production, and will take place Thursday, November 27, at 6 p.m. in Ambassador Auditorium, CAW Student Centre. It is free and open to the public.
