MOUNTAIN LAKES—The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of North Jersey met on Thursday night to speak out against misconceptions about Islam.
The Clifton-based group held “Muslims for Peace and Loyalty” at The Villa in Mountain Lakes to counteract “fanatics and fringe Muslim groups” who commit acts of violence in the name of Islam, the organization said in a release.
The event, which took place the night before the 14th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, stressed the importance of distinguishing radicalization from actual Islam.
