Local Muslims plan to ‘Stop the Crisis’ of radicals bent on destruction, one conversation at a time.

Women of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Burlington, Oakville and Milton are joining the national Stop the Crisis movement to eradicate public misconceptions their 1,400-year-old faith often has with terrorism.

Presenter Sana Mumtaz urged the 100 women who gathered at Burlington's Tansley Woods Community Centre on April 11 to take action.

“Ask not what others can do to end extremism but what can you do to end it,” she said. “We as a nation and community must work together to change the tide and threat.”
