A Muslim scholar is here illegally -- teaching an extreme brand of Islam

A controversial Pakistani scholar living in Canada who, critics charge, teaches her female students a fundamentalist brand of Islam promoting polygamy and subservience to men, remains here illegally some nine months after immigration officials demanded she leave the country, federal court documents obtained by Maclean's reveal.

Farhat Hashmi arrived in October 2004 on a visitor's visa, and has twice been denied the work permit she sought to teach her interpretation of the Koran in Canada. But she has nevertheless established a school where she lectures to mostly young, middle-class women from mainstream Muslim families, not only from across the country but also from the U.S. and as far away as Australia. Moderate Muslims believe her lessons encourage extremist views among her students in Mississauga -- the same Toronto suburb where many of the 17 men arrested last month on terrorism-related charges grew up and allegedly developed into radicals. Some of those young men's militant views are reputed to have been influenced by their ideologically inclined wives.

"remains here illegally some nine months after immigration officials demanded she leave the country"

So why hasn't she been arrested yet?

"Canadian extremist ping."

Given the on-going presence of FR's small, but vocal, knuckle-dragging xenophobic element, perhaps the above wasn't the best choice of words?

PING!

There was an idiot on another thread a couple of days ago claiming the Irish Army officers are IRA sympathisers!! He could read up on Irish history!

True. Let me rephrase "Terrorist sympathizer and enabler living illegally in Canada ping." ;)

Dear Sir,

Given the information below could you tell me why this woman is still in Canada?
She certainly appears to be an incubator for radical Islamic terrorists.
We do not need or want this type of woman in Canada.
Deport her immediately!

I'm not so sure we should be kicking her out.
As a nation, we really don't have the stomach yet to take the kind of drastic measures necessary to ensure the security the fatherland.
Something will, no doubt, eventually happen to wake everyone up and no one will be able to deny that they were unaware or (in hindsight) couldn't see it coming.
So let these latter day prophets of doom have their say - the louder the better. If all this inevitably leads to a clash, better it happen sooner rather than later.
Peace out..

Time to send such illegals to detention centres!
