Members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community fanned out across the Joppa area Saturday, hoping to educate residents about their beliefs amid a dispute over a townhouse development they want to build.
Wearing T-shirts that said “True Islam” and carrying pamphlets describing the tenets of their faith, volunteers with the religious sect said they wanted to ease concerns about their plans for the Harford County townhouse community known as Old Trails or River Run.
