(National Post) In just the latest example of sanctioned extremism on a Canadian university campus, a controversial Muslim preacher is scheduled to deliver a sermon at the University of Victoria.
South Africa-born imam Younus Kathrada has publicly called for the “annihilation” of Jews, has praised the Taliban, and has said that Canadian society is “evil and filthy” for its tolerance of homosexuality.
On Nov. 24, Kathrada is scheduled to be the invited guest of the UVic Muslim [Students] Association, where he will deliver a lecture entitled “The Importance of Connecting with the Muslim Community.”
“This is a great opportunity to learn about the value of unity, support, and connection among fellow Muslims,” reads a description by the association, which is a sanctioned University of Victoria student club.
