Muslim Eatery Gives Out Free Food

A Muslim eatery, Marche Ferdous in Montreal Canada has been revealed to have been giving out free food to homeless and poor people in the city for the last four months. This was revealed when a non-Muslim man, Sean Jalbert heard of the rumour and tried to confirm its authenticity. He (Sean) went to the eatery on Jan. 2^nd and asked for food pretending not to have money. To his surprise, the waitress said to him, “We welcome you, pick whatever you like” including anything he wanted to drink (Halal). He confessed that he was pretending, paid his bills and thanked them. On getting home, he narrated his experience on Facebook attracting 3,100 likes and 5,100 shares. A co-owner of Marche Ferdous, Yahya Hashemi who is an Iranian immigrant told Global news, “We do not ask any questions, we do not judge people. They want to eat, we give them the food. That’s it, that’s all.” A chef at the restaurant,         Abdel Kadir Bajaoui, told news men, “It doesn’t matter because, at night you have left-over food; you end up throwing it out. So why not give it to those in need? It’s not a big deal.” A staff at the restaurant posted a message on the window that reads, “People with no money welcome to eat free” (in both English and French).
