Le mois d'octobre est le Mois canadien de l'histoire islamique en reconnaissance de l'importante contribution des musulmans dans les domaines des arts, du sport, de la litt\u00e9rature et des sciences, le milieu universitaire et les collectivit\u00e9s. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7961418\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Mois canadien de l'histoire islamique est un moment pour s'informer sur l'histoire de l'islam au Canada ainsi que sur les d\u00e9fis et les obstacles pass\u00e9s et pr\u00e9sents auxquels sont confront\u00e9s les Canadiens d'origine musulmane. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7961419\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au cours du mois, les Canadiens devraient explorer la foi, la culture et les traditions musulmanes en visitant une mosqu\u00e9e et en go\u00fbtant \u00e0 des aliments et des breuvages d\u00e9licieux tout en en apprenant davantage au sujet de l'islam dans le cadre des journ\u00e9es portes ouvertes qui auront lieu en octobre. Ce mois est l'occasion de tendre une fois de plus vers un Canada bienveillant, inclusif et s\u00e9curitaire pour tous. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7961420\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je souhaite \u00e0 tous un joyeux Mois canadien de l'histoire islamique.</p>"
