Ummah Mosque and Abdelkader Tayebi

country face: Communities across the country face a growing challenge of integrating those just arrived into Canadian life, according to The Chronicle Herald. And mosques face the brunt of this challenge. Canada hopes to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the month. Ummah Mosque has received roughly 40 families since December, many of whom have multiple children. We are finally able to help these people that have been going through such a difficult time, he said in an interview at an open house to meet old friends and welcome new. Abdelkader Tayebi, imam for the Ummah Mosque, says there have been minor logistical problems, but nothing he and his community can’t handle. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
