    The other approach is to find an Imam (not necessarily) an import IN ADDITION to Imam Al Hejazy. That is we need two Imam.

    Assalamu'alaikum

    I attend the New Muslim program -run by Sh Al-Hejazy - on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Many new Muslims are benefiting from this program. He introduces simple concepts and seeks to familiarize his listeners to basic concepts that are essential for every Muslim to know. Frankly, I think every Muslim could benefit this program......

    I wish I had such support when I embraced 15 years ago.

    I don't have the background on this, but isn't there also a Bosnian Imam in Ottawa who has good credentials and understands the situation in Canada?
