EXCLUSIVE: Legacy media silent as pro-Sharia imam kicks off Canadian tour
Establishment figures have been completely silent about the Canadian tour of a Salafi preacher who touts an extreme anti-Western ideology to his followers.
UPDATE: A response from Abu Tamiyyah was received after deadline. This article has been updated to reflect that.
While legacy media and progressive politicians have loudly condemned Christian musician Sean Feucht for his Biblical beliefs on gender and sexuality as he tours Canada, establishment figures have been completely silent about the Canadian tour of a Salafi preacher who touts an extreme anti-Western ideology to his followers.
Imam Ustadh Abu Tamiyyah will begin a national tour on July 31 with support from Islamic Relief Canada, whose parent organization has been accused of alleged links to terrorism.
Abu Tamiyyah preaches a fundamentalist Salafi interpretation of Islam that promotes Sharia, demonizes Western ideals and Christianity. The radical imam’s “End of Times” tour will hit major cities including Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Vancouver and elsewhere.
