Organisers of the annual Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) conference are basking in the success of their most successful event yet. The Dec, 21 - 23, 2012 convention attracted slightly over 25,000 participants from around the world, with over 20,000 attending physically and the rest participating through the Internet.

It was initiated in 2003 by a group of young Muslims to “address confusion within the Muslim community after the Sept. 11 attacks and to start to build bridges outward to the wider Canadian society,” says conference chair, Fouzan Khan.
