The Facebook page “United Dawah Organizations of Canada” (aka Deen Media Canada and Deen Canada Media, portrays itself as “a media conglomerate with a 7-year plan to being the leading media voice and go-to platform for Muslim in Canada, shaping the way Muslims think and approach issues, and educating our non-Muslim neighbors.”

According to its mission statement, the “United Dawah Organizations of Canada” strive to “promote dawah [proselytizing] skills across Canada; AND a platform where Muslims can share and deliver their skills for other organizations; Promote the idea of a weekly halaqah-circle [study group] in every Masjid [mosque] [and to] encourage ikhlaas [devotion], good deeds, brotherly networking.”

Who is Bernie Farber? The Muslim Community in Canada should know who this man is. He’s been trying to build relations with the Muslim community in Canada, but not everyone is familiar with his background and his efforts to undermine the concerns of the Palestinian community in Canada. Farber markets himself as an “anti-racist” and “friend” of Muslims in Canada. However, he is an adamant supporter of racist Zionist policies and has repeatedly gone after Canadian-Jewish activists who defend Palestine.
