“Fast with a Muslim” campaign launched in Canada aiming to promote interfaith tolerance

Canadian Muslims are inviting people of all religions to join

Canadian Muslims are inviting people of all religions to join them in breaking their daily fast during the holy month of Ramadan.

Through the “Fast with a Muslim Friend” program, non-Muslim Canadians are invited to sign up to try fasting and then share iftar, the evening meal that ends the day of going without food or drink.

The program is designed to help “break down barriers” in Canada and encourage understanding.

Participants are invited to share their experiences online, by blogging on the program’s website or posting on social media with the hashtag #FastWithMuslims.
