A group of Muslims are on a cross-Canada tour of more than 25 cities to debunk misconceptions about Islam.
The roving band of faithful are in Montreal July 24 and 25 with their campaign called #MobileMuslims.
“What we’re trying to teach people is that Islam is completely removed from violence and terror,” spokesman James Sinclair told CBC News.
Sinclair added “People who do acts of violence or any type of terrorism or extremism are completely removed from the faith.”
In addition to addressing misconceptions, the tour was created to thank Canada for the freedom it’s given the Muslim Community to practice freely since it came here 50 years ago.
