The Al Rahman Islamic Center is a storefront mosque in Mississauga, Canada, a city of 734,000 west of Toronto, Canada.[1] Forty to fifty Muslim families pray at the mosque.[2]

At least 6 of the 18 people (the "Toronto 18") arrested by Canadian authorities in a counterterrorism operation in June 2006 regularly attended the mosque.[3][4][5]
