Salaheddin Islamic Centre

Located in Scarborough, Ontario Salaheddin Islamic Centre is a Canadian mosque noted for its outspoken Imam Aly Hindy and a number of its other members. It is believed that the mosque is closely monitored by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service , and some members accuse the agency of nurturing a vendetta against the worship centre. One of its key founders was Hassan Farhat , although he was made persona non grata by the mosque's administrators and forbidden from continuing to hold any position in the facility; although he was allowed to return for worship. A number of its worshippers have been accused of ties to terrorism, including Ahmed Khadr who ran a charity named Health and Education Project International with ties to the mosque and allegedly funneled money to Afghan training camps . Brothers Saeed and Masoud Rasoul , whose father was a prayer leader at the mosque, later went missing in Iraq, believed to have fought for Ansar al-Islam , possibly at the urging of Farhat. Following the 2006 Toronto terrorism arrests , it emerged that Fahim Ahmad and a number of other suspects were members of the mosque. During the bail Hearing of Abdullah Khadr in August 2008, the Crown attacked the credibility of the mosque — although judge Trotter dismissed the suggestion, referring to testimony from RCMP officer Tarek Mokdad who agreed it was not reasonable to suggest the mosque supported terrorism.
