Canadian Muslim Union

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Muslim Union (CMU) is a registered not-for-profit corporation in Canada.

The CMU was started on August 20, 2006 following an unsuccessful attempt to resolve deep divisions in the Muslim Canadian Congress (MCC) board. The attempt failed when members representing one of the factions did not show up for the Board meeting called to resolve the differences and to elect a new executive. The board members who attended decided unanimously to resign from the MCC and form a new, democratic organisation.

The Canadian Muslim Union, while advocating separation of Religion and State, works with and within the Muslim community, engaging it in issues of human rights, human dignity, social justice and alternate progressive and inclusive visions of Islam.
