I’m in Canada this month for an exciting lecture and debate tour through Western and Eastern parts of Canada!

The amazing brothers and sisters of NYMiNK have co-organised with Canadian MSAs in western Canada to set up a United Islamic Awareness Week 22nd-25th Jan 2019 going through the University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and the Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, British Columbia).

The week is then concluded with a massive Dawah Conference in Edmonton (Alberta) on 26th Jan 2019, also organised by MYNiNK, who’ve invited me to speak alongside speakers Dawud Walid, Shaikh Fahad Tasleem and fellow Brit, Hamza Tzortzis.

Following straight after, on 27th Jan 2019 I travel to the East coast of Canada, Toronto, to begin the second week of university and mosques lectures and a university debate with an Atheist, organised by organised by the i3 Institute.

I’ll be posting the event information and posters individually on this site, but for those who want to all the event information in one place, here it is below [this page will be updated so check back regularly].

The Canadian Dawah Convention, organised by NYMiNK, has set up a day long Dawah event focusing on a number of key topics that face Muslims in the West (and generally) today. My lecture topic is “Stuck in the Middle with You: Benefiting from the Harmony of Islamic Thought in the Chaos of a Progressively Polarized Society” – a lecture on how Muslims can navigate between and deal with the ideologies of both the far-right (fascists, ethno-nationals), right-wing/centre-left (classical liberals, sectarian conservative Christians) and left-wing (SJWs, 3rd wave Feminists etc).

Other speakers attending include, again, Dawud Walid, Shaikh Fahad Tasleem and Hamza Tzortzis.
