The Ahmadiyya Muslim Students Association (AMSA) at the U of A are holding a debate/discussion about the topic: “Is the concept of martyrdom justified in religion?” This event will be taking place on March 20 in The Engineering Teaching and Learning Complex U of A, room 1-007 at 6 o’clock. There will be speakers representing the Atheist (a member of the UAAA), Christian, Sikh, and Muslim points of view. This is a free event, but they are taking donations for the Edmonton food bank.
**This event is not affiliated or run by the Society of Edmonton Atheists but we did think it would be of interest for our members.
The SEA has had speakers at this in past years, however this year, the UAAA is holding down the atheist side.
I wonder why the change? This is the Muslim Students at the U of A. They haven’t been the ones to hold it in the past have they?
It’s the Ahmadiyya Muslims, same group.
(Same group as past years)
I spoke at this event last year for the SEA. This year, the UAAA are providing the atheist speaker.
I hope everyone takes advantage of this great discussion; you will not find the variety of POVs in one room! #AMSA #ualberta
