PART 1 – Sponsors

Maple Lodge Farms and Islamic Relief were the two sponsors of the #RIS2016 convention in Toronto.

ISLAMIC RELIEF

Islamic Relief is the most important Muslim charity in the world. It has branches in several countries including Canada. It is still registered as a charitable organization in Canada. Canada Revenue Agency / Archive.Today

Currently, Hany (Hanny) El-Banna is Chair of Islamic Relief Canada’s Board and El-Tantawy Attia, one of its director. IRC Board / WebArchive – Archive.Today

In an interview given to Emel magazine in 2004, El-Banna praised the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Al-Banna, and described one of the Brotherhood’s main ideologues, Sayyid Qutb, as a “visionary.” El-Banna indicated that he is not related to the founder of the Brotherhood.

Hany El-Banna is also a trustee of the UK-based Muslim Charities Foundation (MCF). In January 2015, MCF was “stripped of state funding in a crackdown on Islamist extremism.”

The British government took action after links were uncovered between MCF and a group alleged to fund Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood political movement.

The British government’s decision was also motivated by the fact that MCF is sponsoring extremist speakers at events in Britain “who fuel hatred, division and violence.” The Telegraph / WebArchive – Archive.Today

MAPLE LODGE FARMS

Maple Lodge Farms is an important chicken supplier that was established in 1955 and is headquartered in Brampton (Ontario). In 2014, two representatives of the North American Muslim Foundation (NAMF) visited Maple Lodge Farms to assess the conformity of its installations with halal standards. In their report, the NAMF representatives indicated that Latif Mirza was Maple Lodge’s Community Relations Manager. In 2012, Mr. Mirza was listed as a Board member of the ISNA Development Foundation. In 2013, this organization’s charitable status was revoked by the Canada Revenue Agency for its links with a terrorist entity. According to the Canadian government agency, the ISNA substructure had provided tax receipts to a non-charitable entity collecting money for a Jamaat-e-Islami-linked terrorist organization in India.

In 2011, 2012, and early 2013, Maple Lodge’s halal certification was provided by ISNA-Canada. On October 16, 2013, shortly after the ISNA Development Foundation’s charitable status was revoked, Maple Lodge presented IFANCA as its new halal certifier.

Ahmad Sakr (1933-2015) was one of the IFANCA founders and, for many years a Board member and the Chairman of its Religious Advisory Council. ICNA / Archive.Today / GMBDW

In his book about the prohibition of pork in Islam, Sakr suggested that one of the reasons for such prohibition could ensue from a literal understanding of the Koranic verse 5:60 delving with the transformation of Jews into swine. Pork – Possible reasons for its prohibition / WebArchive (See p. 11)

According to the NAMF report, “Hamid Slimi of Sayeda Khadija Center and Imam Nadvi of Al Falah Islamic Center of ICNA is [sic] also on their panel of consultants who routenly [sic] give seminars to the senior management of Maple Lodge Farms.”

In his book about terrorism, Hamid Slimi recommends a Saudi Koran that defines jihad as an “Islamic Holy War… with full force of numbers and weaponry… by [which] Islam is established [and] Allah’s Word is made superior.”

Imam Iqbal Nadvi is close to the Pakistan-based Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI). On March 14, 2014, he gave a Friday sermon at a mosque controlled by this Islamist organization in New Delhi (India). Video / Archive.Today

In his book Jihad in Islam, JEI’s founder Syed Maududi (1903-1979) summarized the mission of Islam, as understood by his supporters in Pakistan, India, and Canada as follows:

Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. […] Islam requires the earth – not just a portion – but the whole planet.
