Canadian Sufi Muslim teacher Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin is blowing the whistle on Saudi Arabia, who have been flooding Canada with “free” Korans full of exhortations to jihad: Teacher witnessed transformation of some bomb-plot suspects. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

Amiruddin says Khalid used to come to his mosque to pray, sometimes in the company of Zakaria Amara and Fahim Ahmad, two of the alleged ringleaders.

“They would enter into the mosque to pray, and they would pray in a very aggressive manner, and they would come in military fatigues and military touques and stuff.  It looked to me that they were watching a lot of those Chechnyan jihad videos online and stuff.”

Amiruddin is a teacher of Sufism, a traditional brand of Islam that rejects the ideology of jihad. Amiruddin says the group was seduced by hardline propaganda financed by the Saudi government and promoting a strict, Wahhabi brand of Islam.

He says the Saudis have flooded Canada with free Qur’ans, laced with jihadist commentary.

“In the back of these Qur’ans that are being published in Saudi Arabia, you have basically essays on the need for offensive jihad and the legitimacy of offensive jihad and things like that.  Very alarming stuff,” he said.

Amiruddin said many mainstream Muslim organizations in Canada are really part of the problem, standing by as extremist propaganda spreads in the mosques.

He cites the Al-Rahman centre in Mississauga, Ont., which he links to the Al-Maghrib Institute, which runs a popular educational website. It’s nominally run out of Ottawa, but Amiruddin says it’s really a Saudi operation.

And by the way, this isn’t only happening in Canada. The Saudis are also spreading their poisonous hatred in the United States.
