EXCLUSIVE: Islamic youth session promoted Muslim Brotherhood activism model
Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Committee director Khaled Al-Qazzaz praised the Muslim Brotherhood’s global influence while encouraging youth to become agents of Islamic revival.
A youth session at this year’s Muslim Association of Canada convention featured an ex-MAC director of education Khaled Al-Qazzaz presenting Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna as a model for organized Islamic activism and societal transformation.
During the session, titled “Visionaries of the Ummah: Youth Activism Lab,” Al-Qazzaz repeatedly praised al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt in 1928, while encouraging youth to engage in organized activism rooted in Islamic revival and collective societal change.
Al-Qazzaz described al-Banna as “a pioneer” and said, “some of the scholars consider him one of the Mujaddidun of this past century, the one who revived Islam in this past century.”
