MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Minneapolis has been suddenly thrust into the spotlight by the recent death of at least two young men from the Minneapolis area who have died in battle in Syria fighting for the Islamic extremist terrorist organization ISIS, as well as reports of up to a dozen other young men and women that are missing and presumed already in Syria. There is an organization in Minneapolis, Waareya, Inc. (pronounced Warrior), that is fighting back against the flawed ideology used in the recruitment of vulnerable young Muslims and Muslim converts.
Waareya, Inc., is a Minnesota corporation that has created a website (www.averagemohamed.com) featuring cartoons, posters, radio clips and other materials to speak to co-religionist Muslims to help them understand that extremist ideology is bankrupt, devoid of faith or logic. They believe that if an 'average Mohamed' can radicalize youth, the image of an 'average Mohamed' can promote anti-extremism and challenge the harmful ideas put forth by the extremist groups that are looking to recruit those that may be searching for an ideology to cling to. Waareya Inc. is dedicated to creating the next level of counter-ideology products and disseminating them into affected communities. The latest cartoon against Extremism can be found http://averagemohamed.com/Islamic_State_Job_Description.html
Abdirizak Bihi a Somali activist, who spoke at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. after his nephew was recruited by and joined Al Shabaab, said the following: "We are delighted that we now have ways to counter extremism. The tools and format are great ways to end the silence towards extremism."
Waareya, Inc. Founder and President Mohamed Ahmed is passionate in his mission to counter the radical ideology. He is available for media interviews and speaking engagements to schools, community groups, law enforcement organizations, communities of faith and any other interested parties.
