In collaboration with European Youth Parliament (EYP) Croatia,  Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission organized a Seminar in a faculty auditorium of of Zagreb University on 05.12.2015. Topic was, “If Islam teaches love and peace then why some Muslim Leaders and Rulers commit atrocities on the name of Islam”. Eminent Ahmadiyya Muslim scholars Mr Azahr Haneef from USA and Mr Ibrahim Ikhlaf from UK conducted the Seminar. One hour was devoted for two lectures and two short videos. Second hour was utilised to reply questions. Both scholars gave extremely educative and inspiring speeches. Power point presentation coupled with appropriate background images prepared by Ms Antonia Seremet also facilitated the sustainability of interest of participants.

Tracing back 2000 years Jewish and Christian History as well 30 years of European wars  paved the way to understand the current crises engulfing the Muslim countries.  Geopolitical, political and religious aspects of current middle East crises were evaluated from all angles.  Aims and goals of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community comprising, revival of living contact between God and mankind, trust, absolute justice, love for all hatred for none, separating religion from politics, and keys for achieving  global peace were highlighted in an extremely effective manner. All aforementioned aspects were elaborately explained. Advent of Messiha/Imam Mahdi a.s. and the importance of his recognition was also amicably talked.  Due to shortage of time many questions were cut short.

Mr Drazen, journalist and Croatian National radio program presenter moderated the whole program in a very lively and interesting manner. Croatian member of Parliament Mr Pandek as guest of honour thanked Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for such educative event.
