The Islamic centre offering Abdullah Khadr a job, and helping post bail for the eldest son in the infamous Khadr family, was frequented by individuals with ties to terrorism and extremist activities, according to Crown arguments at a bail review hearing yesterday.

Lead prosecutor Howard Piafsky told the court that the Khadr patriarch Ahmed Said Khadr, who was believed to have close ties to Osama bin Laden and many of those charged in the so-called Toronto 18 terrorist plot, often visited the centre and used its facilities.
Ibrahim said the mosque is open to everyone, and has a congregation of thousands. “Anyone is welcome to pray. We don't say no to any Muslim,” he said. When asked about his own relationship to one of the Toronto 18, Ibrahim denied knowing the man. However, when shown a passport application where he signed as a guarantor for the man, Ibrahim changed his answer, saying that he knew “a lot of people.”
Khadr’s maternal grandparents agreed to post their house as a $250,000 surety for the bail, adding that they will be vigilant in making sure he is “obedient” so they don't lose “all their savings.”
That’s interesting fanfan.
The Khadrs are always interesting, in my opinion.
