Halifax Central Library and Dr Abdelkader Tayebi

Ummah Mosque: Dr, according to The Chronicle Herald. Abdelkader Tayebi, imam for the Ummah Mosque in Halifax, says he hopes the first-person experience will help people better understand those who wear the hijab, which covers the head and neck but not the face. Anyone who stops by the Halifax Central Library for Hijab Day on Saturday will be invited to try one on. It no longer something that is related to a minority or a couple people, so it has surfaced as a matter of concern to Canadians, he said. Tayebi says there are many mistaken ideas surrounding the hijab, including the notion that men are forcing women to wear them. It being seen as something imported from outside, from the Middle East, whereas it is now a Canadian thing. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
