His goal is to visit 30 Mosques over Ramadan. We’ll speak with @30masjids
— OntarioMorning (@CBCOntMorning) August 1, 2013
During Ramadan, Himy Syed travels from-city-to city in Ontario visiting as many Mosques as he can.
He’s made it his goal to visit 30 mosques over 30 days.
Last year, he stuck to Greater Toronto Area’s mosques.
But this year, he spread his search province-wide.
The project is called 30 Masjids.
Guest host Mike Ewing spoke to Himy about some of the highlights of his journey so far.

It’s about 8 p.m. Tandoori Gardan Restaurant is buzzing. Barely an empty seat.
I’m waiting to place an order for take-out Iftar Dinner.
Sure enough, as the restaurant owner, Khurshid Khan, earlier informed me, Muslim students from the Algoma University Downtown Student residence a few doors down, do turn up to order take-out.
I quickly introduce myself and the 30 Masjids project.
Immediately, they invite me to their join their Iftar in the residence. Ramadan Hospitality FTW!

Comments Off on Day 15 – On Making “Muslims of Windsor” | Nuha Elalem
Earlier today, I received the following email from Sister Nuha Elalem (@NuhaElalem), who with Asil Moussa, made the film Muslims of Windsor.
Salam!
My name is Nuha Elalem and I just wanted to thank you for including our “Muslims of Windsor” film in your blog.
Asil and I worked very hard on it and when I heard you were interviewing her about it, I was very excited.
Hope all your future endeavors end in happiness and success, inshaAllah.
Best regards,
Nuha
I emailed Nuha a few follow-up questions. She was kind enough to share some thoughts on being a young female filmmaker…

We sit down to do our Interview, Asil Moussa begins,
“Windsor’s Islamic Community is not normal…”
With that, it immediately becomes apparent this interview will also not be normal.

Day 7 of Ramadan and we are inside the Prayer Hall of the Rose City Islamic Centre in Windsor, Ontario.
It’s between Asr and Maghrib time. In the barrier-free sister’s area, a stop motion video is being recorded.
Lina, Bayan, and Amy are filming flower petals being positioned into the shape of letters spelling,
Together We Flourish
