Excerpt:
A group of Muslims in Ottawa are seeking to change the conversation around conversion.
Muslim Link hosted a public meeting at city hall Saturday to discuss the stigma they said is attached to new converts to Islam because of a few radicalized converts — and to come up with possible ways to better understand and support converts.
Prof. Scott Flower of the University of Melbourne is leading the first academic study in Canada, funded by Public Safety Canada, to look at the reasons behind why people convert to Islam.
