Thousands of Ismaili Muslims were among the Asians expelled from Uganda in 1972 by Idi Amin. As the tyrant lies on his deathbed three decades later, ERIN ANDERSSEN reports, Canada's hugely prosperous Ismaili community doesn't bat an eye. Nasim Rajani's family was at prayer when they lost their every possession in the world. If the neighbours hadn't warned them on their way home from the mosque, it might have been much worse. A servant had slipped out to send a panicked message: You can't come back. There are soldiers here. They are waiting for you.
