Said Jaziri Update. “Outspoken Montreal imam ordered detained until deportation,” from CBC News:
A controversial Muslim cleric will remain in custody until his deportation next week after the Immigration and Refugee Board declared him a flight risk.
Imam Said Jaziri was ordered detained Wednesday following a nearly four-hour hearing in Montreal. He will be deported to his native Tunisia next Monday.
[…]
The cleric, who heads the Al-Qods mosque in Montreal, was ordered deported last year when officials revoked his refugee status, originally obtained in 1998.
Speaking of a lack of respect for the laws of secular governments:
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada is claiming the Tunisian-born cleric presented false information to get into Canada, and lied about having a criminal record in France, where he served jail time.
[…]
Jaziri has drawn attention to himself in the past for what his critics call extreme views on Islam.
He has defended sharia law on CBC”s French language radio service, and recently proposed the government fund a $20-million mosque in Montreal.
Jaziri also spearheaded protests in the city in 2006 over the publication of Muhammad cartoons in a Danish newspaper.
