This past weekend, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association of America (AMYA), which consists of nearly 70 chapters across the nation, held its annual youth retreat in Los Angeles, where they participated in educational and sports competitions.
It is noteworthy that this peaceful gathering of hundreds of Muslims took place not far from Riverside and Davis, where Imams in both cities in the past few weeks made inflammatory remarks about Jews in their sermons because of current events in Israel.
