Lal-Khan-Malik

The national president of the Ahmadiya Muslim Jama’at Canada, Lal Khan Malik, blamed Muslim scholars whom he said had misunderstood the concept of jihad as a call to kill non-believers. “This is a grossly misguided understanding of Islam,” he said.

He urged the government to ensure that such intolerance could no longer be preached in Canada. “Aggressive jihad has no place in Islam,” he said. “This erroneous belief system is responsible for the radicalization of youth.”

MISSISSAUGA, ONT. — Coalition air strikes have “radically limited” the ability of ISIS to operate in Iraq, Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney told religious community leaders at a weekend gathering that discussed combatting the terrorist group.

The minister said the bombing campaign by Canadian and allied warplanes had made it much harder for the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham to use its heavy weapons such as tanks and artillery. “They can no longer move out in the open like that,” he said.

Muslims against terrorism

The minister made the comments at an event organized by the Coalition of Progressive Canadian Muslim Organizations, which brought together leaders of Canadian Yazidi, Christian, Shia, Ahmadiya, Jewish, Sunni, Kurdish and other groups to discuss strategies for fighting ISIS.
