Praise be to Harppah!

Toronto is getting a $300-million Muslim cultural centre! Canada's "conservative" Prime Minister to break ground Friday! With Canada's newest honorary citizen!

By 2013, the seven-acre expanse near Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue will be home to a world-class museum, multi-purpose building and parklands, cementing this city’s importance as a past and future destination for the Ismaili diaspora.

A world-class museum! Think of the outreach!

Ismaili Muslims are sometimes described as “tight-knit” or “secretive.” Non-Ismailis are not allowed into Ismaili religious services; questions directed at Ismailis by reporters and other inquisitive types are often politely dismissed; and the globe-trotting Aga Khan’s visits are shrouded in secrecy.

Sounds like Stephen Harper will be missing Pride again! So much to do!

Do these Muslims blow up people and buildings too? I've heard of this Aga Khan but not the term Ismaili.

Regardless of the answer I wish Harper could have found a summit somewhere to attend instead of this. This has Liberal-style, multicult vote pandering written all over it.
