Islamic History Month in Canada

Unbelievable eh? So much for dar-this and dar-that. Canada's federal parliament officially declared October as Islamic History Month in Canada. The only question that I have in my mind: What about it? So far I haven't seen events about Islam going around the city like the famous Nuit Blanche Toronto art festival or whatever.

Anyway, for a start the Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is holding a Muslim Heritage Weekend on 18th and 19th October - they will premier Prince Among Slaves, The Last Prophet animated film, some halal food, and some artifacts.

My University's MSA is holding two events: Muslim-Christian Student Dialogue and IHMC Workshop - but places are limited... Hurry up?

Check out the calendar of events by clicking here and jom datang ramai-ramai!

Ok at least let's go to ROM this weekend.
