Perhaps they'll interview Ezra Levant

The Muslim Free Press, which claims to be fhe first national Islamic newspaper in Canada, went into circulation on Tuesday in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver, according to a release from the Kuwait News Service. No circulation total was announced.

The fortnightly newspaper tackles a number of local and international issues as well as Islamic-oriented political and health matters,
with the aim of responding to the caricatures depicting Prophet Mohammad which had triggered a wide-scale controversy in the Arab and Muslim world during the past two months. (This includes reprinting of the cartoons by the Western Standard magazine.)

FYI, this was also covered by CBC, including a write-up on the official launch:
