Salaheddin Islamic Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Located in Scarborough, Ontario Salaheddin Islamic Centre is a Canadian mosque noted for its controversial Imam Aly Hindy[1] and a number of its other members. It is believed that the mosque is closely monitored by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.[2]
One of its key founders was Hassan Farhat[3] A number of its worshippers have been accused of ties to terrorism, including Ahmed Said Khadr who ran a charity named Health and Education Project International out of the mosque and allegedly funneled money to Afghan training camps.[4][5]
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.[3]
Following the 2006 Toronto terrorism arrests, it emerged that Fahim Ahmad and a number of other suspects were members of the mosque.[6]
