At Jamatkhanas in cities and towns, around dinner tables, by phone and over the Internet, the Ismaili Muslim community across Canada and around the world buzzed with excitement when Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced that he had invited Mawlana Hazar Imam to address the Parliament of Canada.

Hazar Imam would be the first faith leader to be accorded this privilege, usually reserved for heads of state and government.
