World Assembly of Muslim Youth

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Assembly of Muslim Youth is an Islamic organization whose stated purpose is to establish a platform where Muslim youth can get together in an Islamic environment. WAMY also achieves to establish a relationship of dialogue, understanding and appreciation between Muslim organizations and the western societies. WAMY organizes conferences, symposia, workshops and research circles to address youth and students issues. See WAMY UK Website (http://www.wamy.co.uk/bd_about.htm) for more info. In addition to Football Tournaments WAMY organizes European Muslim Scouts camps for Muslim youth in Europe. It receives its major funding and ideological cues from Saudi Arabia^{[citation needed]}.

"We need thousands of these organizations all over the world. According to the Americans themselves, there are more than 1.5 million organizations in the US. When you look at the Muslim world, there are no more than 50,000. It is not fair that the West has so many organizations, while we are denied even the existence of a few organizations like WAMY, the Muslim World League, Al-Haramain Charitable Organization and others."--Dr. Al-Wohaibi^[1]
