On Good Friday 2010, I found myself in Curitiba, Brazil. I joined the congregation and performed Jumah Prayers inside Curitiba’s ONLY Masjid, Mesquita Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (R.A.).

The muggers who attacked a woman outside her son’s school, yelling “Go back to your country,” need a geography lesson, according to HiMY SYeD.
More than one million Muslims call Canada home, eight per cent of Torontonians practice Islam, and if by country they meant neighbourhood, that would be the Junction.
“We have fifth-generation Torontonians who happen to be Muslim descent, Muslim heritage. They’ve been here 50, 60, 70 years,” he said of the west-end neighbourhood’s Islamic roots.
So happy that @HiMYSYeD's #JanesWalk of Muslim history in Toronto is featured. It's tomorrow! https://t.co/XANTrJUnil via torontostar

Lately, when it comes to Muslims in the News locally in Toronto or regionally in Peterborough, Ontario, it appears there’s a lack of understanding of Canadian Muslims by any number of fellow Canadians.
Yet, there’s also an earnest appetite to learn more about The Muslims of Toronto and our Community’s history.
To satiate such sincere hunger for knowledge, I will be leading the following Jane’s Walk:
“The History of Muslims in Toronto – A Special December Jane’s Walk“
TIME: Sunday December 20, 2015 – 11:00 a.m.
MEETING POINT: Runnymede TTC Subway Station Main Entrance.
WALK LEADER: I’ll be wearing a Green Jacket holding a Jane’s Walk sign.
Please help get the word and as important…
…Join This Special Jane’s Walk!
See YOU on December 20th, and Thank You!

On Saturday evening, The Islamic Institute of Toronto hosted The People of Peterborough for a night of Support, Discussion and Community Building.
The multi-faith event was a show of Canadian solidarity against the Hate Crime of Arson at Kawartha Muslim Religious Association‘s Masjid Al-Salaam in Peterborough.
A representative cross-section of the wider Canadian community turned out as you may see from their images and words live-tweeted during the event…

Comments Off on 30 MORE | Community Response to Hate Crime of Arson at Masjid Al-Salaam / Kawartha Muslim Religious Association (KMRA) – Peterborough, Ontario
“We the members of the KMRA are shocked and deeply disturbed by the November 14th incident at Masjid Al-salaam.
“The damage of the incident which is now being investigated as a possible hate crime has been estimated to exceed $80,000.
“In spite of the incident, we are deeply touched and highly encouraged by the overwhelming support we have received from the Peterborough community at large.
“We will continue to work with all faith groups and concerned citizens in raising awareness of peace and tolerance.
“We are thankful to all those who have extended their support to our community and we look forward to strengthening ties with the broader Peterborough community.”
“To all those that have been asking where they can donate, an online fundraiser has been setup by a local community support group in Peterborough. The link is below, your support is much appreciated.”
“On November 14th (2015), a suspicious fire was discovered inside of Peterborough’s only Mosque. Damages are estimated to exceed $80K. We encourage members of the community, of all or no faiths, to help the muslim community restore their place of worship.
Donations will be passed on to Dr. Kenzu Abdella, President of the Kawartha Muslim Religious Association, in trust, on a monthly basis.”
Update: This is now being classified as a “hate crime.”
In the time I have been composing this blog post, several more thousands of dollars have been added to the Community Support for Peterborough’s Only Mosque Fundraising webpage.
If you wish donate offline, you may phone St. John’s Anglican Church in Peterborough at 705-745-7624.
