Very appropriate and much needed topics aimed to protect our sunni creed. All topics are important. I recently read that the Qadianis are the fastest growing sect. A refutation is rarely seen in the english language (literature and lectures) and so the talk will be of benefit. I agree with IslamIsTheTruth. Minhajism should be referred to as a different sect and the founder's beliefs be made apparent to everyone. A few years Sh Asrar put forward a proposal that Umoor e Ishrin Dar Imtiyaz Aqaid Sunniyyin of Ala Hazrat (The 20 points distinguishing the sunni creed from others) be sent to every Masjid and that every speaker must sign it before he speaks in our masajid. This is the ideal time to release it with the tribulations today. It's available in urdu and english, sh asrar said he'll translate into arabic at the time.
I think all the speakers should make a concerted effort to expose and refute tahir Ul padri, especially now after what happened at the Sufi conference. I know there are a few minhajis in high positions in Halifax and they have a small headquarters you could say. They are also commitee members of the Sunni masjids in Halifax, I know for sure about the Gibbert street masjid.
Should be a great event Especially Mawlana Asrar's speech of exposing these cults, hopefully people Will learn about these so called "pirs" that have cults and tell the mureeds that don't talk to anyone except your own "pir bhais"
