Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV) was stared in 2008 in the USA. We currently have a chapter in Ottawa and are looking to set up one here in the GTA. To that end we have set up this meetup group to connect with others. 

To give you an idea of some of our values: 

  • we believe if you say you are a Muslim, you are a Muslim.
  • we believe we are all equal before Allah swt, irrespective of sect, ethnicity, sexual orientation and gender, and we are inspired by Allah's Mercy and Kindness.
  • we believe that Allah swt meant for us to know and respect those of other faiths and to live peacefully among them.
  • we believe at least half our leaders are women and must be given that opportunity.
  • we believe it is our responsibility to build a Muslim community here in Canada based on these values, to support and help everyone.

You can find out more about at www.mpvottawa.com

Everyone is welcome to join this group. By everyone we really mean everyone, irrespective of sect, ethnicity, sexuality and gender. Once we have a good number of members on this meet up we will have our first get meet and greet. 

Hope to meet with you soon!
