Of course due to the recent attack in France I’m hearing a lot of anti-Islam sentiment going around. It makes me mad as I know many Muslims who are great people, just like all the good Christians and Jews I know. Also all three of those religions are Abraham, so as an outsider I see conflicts between these groups at a spiritual level very strange.
So this story makes me very happy:
In the war for young people’s hearts and minds, Mohamed Ahmed hopes to use cartoons to dissuade a generation raised on “The Simpsons” and “South Park” from taking up arms for the Islamic State group and other extremist causes.
Ahmed, a convenience store manager from Minneapolis, has launched AverageMohamed.com, a website offering homemade videos aimed at countering the messages and images terrorists use to lure disaffected youths into holy war.
“I don’t want my children fighting this war. Let’s end this in my generation,” said Ahmed, a married father of four young children.
His website is here, and I decided to post a few of his videos.
Keep spreading the good word!
