And the reason that Muslims took no action against fellow Muslims is????? Koranic...mortal sin to betray a Muslim to non-Muslims. Bruce
Mosque was warned about suspect GREG MCARTHUR >From Monday's Globe and Mail http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060605.wxterrorjamal05/ BNStory TORONTO - The oldest member of the group accused of hatching a foiled terrorist bomb plot on Toronto used a Mississauga strip-mall mosque to draw young and impressionable Muslim minds to an extreme version of Islam, says one of Mississauga's prominent Islamic figures. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, was merely a volunteer at the Al-Rahman Islamic Centre for Islamic Education, occasionally cleaning and running errands, said Fahim Bukhari, the director of the Mississauga Muslim Community Centre. The mosque's management, however, was warned about Mr. Jamal by numerous people, including the local Liberal MP, said Mr. Bukhari, who often prayed at the mosque because it was founded by his uncle. "He spends too much time with the youth. He's 43 years old and he goes bowling with them. He goes to barbecues. He plays soccer with them," said Mr. Bukhari, adding that five of the young men arrested on Friday were regulars at the mosque. "I'm not surprised by the raids. I knew his views." It's a similar picture to the one painted by Mr. Jamal's neighbours, who grew suspicious of the man and his family. It was after midnight, and about a month after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, when Kim Bastarache looked out her front door and saw a video shoot. The rain was pounding, but she said she could clearly see Mr. Jamal across the street holding a video camera. He was videotaping two men, who appeared to be acting, she says. One of the men was holding a briefcase, and was grabbed by the other man and hauled into the garage by the arm. "I didn't know if they were doing a documentary or what," Ms. Bastarache said. The incident, in the Mississauga townhouse co-op, was the first in a series to cause Ms. Bastarache and others on the block to wonder about the family. Mr. Jamal rarely smiled, they say, and his wife, Cheryfa Macaulay Jamal, 44, wasn't much of a talker, either. At first, the neighbours wondered whether their silence stemmed from a devotion to their faith; Mrs. Jamal, a white-skinned woman who neighbours believe is originally from Halifax, always wears a burka; Mr. Jamal usually wears a traditional Muslim cap. On their front door, there are three stickers, two with Arabic writing, the other in English. It states: "In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave and upon our Lord we place our trust." As years passed, the neighbours said, they realized the Jamals' behaviour could not be explained by religion. There are lots of Muslims in Mississauga, but not many like the Jamals. "One thing I can tell you for sure -- this guy was weird," said Jerry Tavares, a neighbour. "There was one time I said, 'Hi,' and he just looked at me. That was it." Mr. Jamal didn't seem to have a job, Mr. Tavares said. And no one knew why the couple and their young children -- either three or four -- were allowed to live in a unit reserved for people in wheelchairs; no one in the house used one. Occasionally, Mrs. Jamal would bring home the yellow school bus she drove. And she was advocating for a group called the Toronto District Muslim Education Assembly. In May, 2000, she gave a presentation to the Toronto District School Board, demanding that teachers give parents ample notice if they planned on teaching any material that promoted "homosexual or bisexual lifestyles, or sexual promiscuity." Neighbours said young people seemed to be drawn to Mr. Jamal. There was always a steady stream of men, who appeared to be in their late teens and early 20s, entering the house, Ms. Bastarache said.
