After the Academy of North American Sharia was forced to change its plans this past weekend, it was the turn of Islamic Relief Canada, a charity, to cancel itsevent with an imam who has a disturbing past.
A decision that comes after J.E. (TVA’s investigative reporting) report on religious radicals invited to preach in the Montreal area.
This time it was a conference that was supposed to be held on Saturday at the mosque in Brossard, to be led by a controversial imam from the United States, Siraj Wahhaj.
The organizers confirmed to TVA News that the event is cancelled, mainly because of J.E.’s findings.
We learned that this imam has a disturbing past: he is deemed by the FBI a co-conspirator of the first World Trade Center attack in 1993. However, he was never charged.
Many of his speeches and sermons are about the U.S. government, which he considers to be the real terrorist that must be fought.
He also believes that Muslims should refuse to integrate into the host society, and instead impose their own customs.
The imam was supposed to appear in Brossard by invitation of Islamic Relief Canada, a charity that has received a grant of $1.5 million from the federal government.
