God does not love polluters.
That's the word from a high-ranking Muslim community leader slated to address a weekend conference that will take a stand against terrorism, suicide bombings and all forms of violence, including those against the environment.
"Global warming is one of the most important challenges of our generation," said Toronto's Naseem Mahdi, missionary in-charge and national vice-president of the Ahmadiyya Movement in Canada.
"The Holy Koran speaks against pollution."
About 2,000 adherents of the group are slated to converge today at the Mayfield Edmonton Trade Centre to discuss issues that give Islam a bad rep.
"Muslims are peaceful people. We are not terrorists," said Mohyuddin Mirza of the movement's Edmonton branch.
"Some of the images of Islam portrayed in the press are very, very negative."
The forum is not only for Muslims, but also for anyone interested in learning about why religion is under attack, especially Islam.
Islam is not what people see portrayed in the media. To say that the Koran tells Muslims to kill is a fundamentalist's interpretation, which is out of context, said Mirza.
The movement has over 200 million followers worldwide with over 50,000 members in Canada.
"We invite Edmontonians to come over and meet our members, so they'd know we're not bad people," Mirza said.
While many issues will be discussed at the forum, including peer pressure and the Internet's influence on people's daily lives, keynote speaker Mahdi will focus on the role of religion in fixing environmental problems.
Although the Prophet Muhammad did not live anywhere near the water, said Mahdi, the Prophet warned in the seventh century that water and the ocean would become polluted and that human hands would be responsible.
