There was a full house at the Calgary Jubilee Auditorium Thursday night for a show detailing the life of the Prophet Mohammed and the message of peace that underlies his teachings.

Organizers hope “The Astonishing Story of the Prophet” will remind non-Muslims that the vast majority of Islam’s adherents do not share the radical views espoused by ISIS.

At least 9,347 civilians had been killed and 17,386 wounded so far through September, well over half of them since the Islamist insurgents also known as ISIL and ISIS began seizing large parts of northern Iraq in early June, the report said.

The insurgents — who call themselves the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) — have taken control of large sections of both countries, committing atrocities along the way in the name of Allah.

Lal Khan Malik, the national president of Ahmadiyya Muslim community, which put on the show, says ISIS twists the teachings of Mohammed.

“They are doing something which is repugnant to Islam. It is a shame to Islam and it is a shame that they are using this name,” he said.

The show has been touring across the country. Its next stop is the University of Saskatchewan in November.
