    I cannot make a specific comment, because not enough information is provided. What is the purpose of this complex? Who will use the complex? It this a gift to toronto with no strings attached? Is this a Moslem Mosque and learning center? Or is is a non-religiously affiliated complex to be used as museum, classrooms, art classes, and a number of non-sectarian activities involvling no religious or political themes?

    HI
    Its clearly stated in the above para that it is a Islamic Museum and a Ismaili Centre. Museum to promote and preserve Islamic Art and culture and Ismaili center means a religious and learning center where not only Ismaili perform there prayers but all other people come and learn about the Islamic and Ismaili fundamentals. Hope this clear your query

    if not then do visit the following sites:

    whatever people perceive about this magnificent project the only thing that is spiritually important is the fact that this project would send out spiritual waves and energy of immeasurable frequency and strength all over the world and also to all the heavens,i am sure even all the divine angels are watching this with grace and anxious anticipation for the project to emit more and more spiritual energy to both the worlds when finished, this would benefit not only the Islamic civilizations of all the times but the entire humanity at large Amen.
