EDMONTON – Edmonton Muslim students’ groups are organizing events on local post-secondary campuses to deter youth radicalization.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association of the University of Alberta is hosting a Stop the Crisis event Thursday at the Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science on the U of A campus, starting at 6:30 p.m.

“ISIS is targeting youth when they’re trying to recruit,” said Khalid Ahmed, president of the AMSA at the U of A.

The event moves to NAIT on Friday at the Shaw Theatre, hosted by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association of the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. It starts at 4 p.m.

The events will feature multimedia presentations and question-and-answer sessions with a panel of Islamic scholars.

The forums are part of a nationwide campaign by the Ahmadiyaa Muslim Jama at Canada.
