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.

We last broke our fast in the Canadian Sufi Cultural Centre on the Second Night of Ramadan 2015.
It felt right to return here at the end of Ramadan and share some of their Eid Al-Fitr Celebrations.

Comments Off on Day 31 – Eid Al-Fitr Prayers – Gymnasium – Dennis R. Trimbell Resource Centre – Flemingdon Park, North York
From Darul Khair Islamic Center‘s Announcements Page:
Announcements
Shawwal moon has NOT been sighted. InshaAllah Eid will be on July 18th. Eid Prayers will be held at gymnasium at 7:30 am sharp.
Yesterday, 10,000 people, and likely more, joined Eid Al-Fitr Prayers in The Metro Toronto Convention Centre downtown, then stayed for the MAC Eid Festival.
The remaining hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the Greater Toronto Area decide to pray early on Eid day in their local Masjids.
Smaller Masjids organize Eid Prayers in larger venues in their neighbourhoods.
In Flemingdon Park, Darul Khair Islamic Center rents the Gymnasium inside Dennis R. Trimbell Resource Centre…

Comments Off on Day 29 – The Last Iftar of Ramadan 1436 – Masjid Toronto
The Last Iftar ended up being in Masjid Toronto…
I had originally hoped to make Pape Cami for their wonderful Turkish Iftar Dinner to wrap up Ramadan 1436.
However, rushing to upload and post Imam Dr. Wael Shehab’s Lecture plus Q&A on The Sunnan and Morals of Eid Al-Fitr kept me in the Downtown Core.
