Justice committee  Mr. Chair, I know by the indication of this e-mail that all members of this committee received a communication from Canadians Against Suicide Bombing, the president and vice-president of which are the Honourable Reuben Bromstein and Dr. Salim Mansur respectively. They refer

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chairman and honourable members, I want to begin by thanking you for inviting me to speak to you as a Canadian who happens to be a Muslim. As an academic with a focus on international relations studies and area studies of the Middle East and south and southwest Asia, I have

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  The short answer is yes. A great many mosques right across Canada, North America, and Europe are basically the incubators of political Islam. They support, in a sense, the values that ISIL represents.

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm glad you picked up on the idea of containment. The issue here, in a very short space of time, is that the Arab Muslim world and the region where ISIL is, at the heart and the core of the Arab Muslim world, is in huge, immense historical turmoil. There are all sorts of cross-c

Foreign Affairs committee  With regard to the solution, the containment idea is that we cannot change the direction of this war that is going on inside the Arab Muslim world. They have to work it out. This is their problem. What was containment in 1947-48 when the Berlin blockade took place? We couldn't go

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  Well, if you're asking me about the events of 2003, I would say that it was a necessary thing. It was a necessary thing to get Saddam Hussein and the regime changed, as it was in Afghanistan, and it was done with the full understanding or the belief that once this dictator, this

Foreign Affairs committee  The point is, what was not anticipated was how the Arab world would react and also how the west would react.

February 3rd, 2015Committee meeting

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  Very quickly, on the question of the RCMP and police forces across Canada, the public outreach program, in my opinion, is highly questionable and problematic. The public outreach program has been an outreach to the very groups that carry the virus of Islamism, that preach the ide

Foreign Affairs committee  We can debate this issue about Turkey. Turkey is a divided country, and though the present regime of Erdogan is tending towards the direction that Mr. Fatah has described—and I agree with him—I think we should not lose sight of the fact that Turkey has a very large segment of sec

February 3rd, 2015Committee meeting

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes. The money being raised from within and coming from outside is going into various activities within the community that showcase their social welfare in the broader sense. Behind that activity is the ideology preached from the pulpit or within the corporate body of the instit

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  There is no democracy within the Arab-Muslim world. The instances of democracy—

February 3rd, 2015Committee meeting

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  Well then you're coming back to this side of the equation precisely. That's what our worry is. That's what's happening in Europe. The numbers are increasing. They are pushing their ideology. We ourselves are wavering upon who we are and what we represent. We are allowing them to

February 3rd, 2015Committee meeting

Dr. Salim Mansur

Foreign Affairs committee  I tell it to my students in the following way. Christianity has a history of over 2,000 years, as we are in the 21st century. Jews have a history of 5,000 years. And Muslims have a history of 1,400 years. What that represents is that Christians have become adults. The Jews are pa

Foreign Affairs committee  We do that by, first of all, stopping giving those imams Jubilee medals. I mean, I come from London, a city where we have two mosques. Given its population ratio, London has become infamous. We had youngsters travelling all the way to eastern Algeria. You all know the details.
