An Islamic group whose presence in Montreal sparked controversy insisted Friday night that its message has been misunderstood.
The Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA) is a UK-based group that describes itself on its website as an “international dawah organization committed to educating and informing humanity about the truth and noble message of Islam.”
However, a speech by the group’s chairman Abdurraheem Green (pictured), where he suggested it is alright for a husband to use physical force on his wife, drew a lot of negative attention to the group.
It led Concordia University’s Muslim Students’ Association to cancel a planned speech that was to be held Friday night, but a Montreal group affiliated with the Muslim Association of Canada found another venue for another iERA lecturer to speak.
