Egypt worked at AlMaghrib Islamic school

TORONTO - The
wife of a Muslim man killed while protesting in Egypt was once a senior
administrator at an Islamic school that employs radical instructors and is
linked to former students jailed as terrorists.
Asmaa
Hussein, 27, wife of Amr Kassem, was once a co-director of the Toronto chapter
of the AlMaghrib Institute, a Houston-based school that teaches its young
students a conservative form of Islam at locations throughout North America.
Her
husband, 26-year-old Kassem, was shot dead during a protest on Friday in the
Egyptian city of Alexandria.
He and
Hussien, both of Toronto — and parents to a 9-month-old girl — had reportedly
been visiting relatives in Egypt. The country has been a hotbed of unrest since
its Muslim Brotherhood-based government was ousted and replaced by a military
leadership.
The
AlMaghrib Institute boasts on its website a handful of instructors, including
Abdullah Hakim Quick and Yasir Qadhi. Quick, a former Toronto-based lecturer,
once proclaimed the Islamic position on homosexuality is “death,” while Qadhi —
a controversial cleric in the U.S. — referred to the Jewish Holocaust as a
propaganda-based “hoax”.
The
school in 2008 also reportedly gave a two-week seminar in Houston to a group of
students that included Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a former student of Qadhi’s
who now sits in a U.S. jail for plotting to down an American airliner with an
explosive sewn into his underwear.
And according
to a New York Times story from March 2011, the AlMaghrib Institute once
schooled a New Hampshire convert who was convicted in 2007 of training with
al-Qaida-ffiliated group in Somalia, as well as a 28-year-old who was arrested
for planning an attack on Americans.
According to
Hussein’s LinkedIn page, she was a co-director at AlMaghrib in
Toronto from August 2009 to May 2011. The AlMaghrib Facebook page
has a posting about Kassem’s death, as well as a link to a website accepting
donations for Hussein and her family following the 26-year-old's killing in
Egypt.
Messages
left for the AlMeghrib Institute were not returned.
The
story of Kassem’s death broke on Saturday, with the media reporting Kassem — a
peaceful man not affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood — attended the
demonstration to protest the recent killing of demonstrators in Cairo during a
military crackdown.
Hussein
and other mourners were reportedly attacked with rocks following Kassem’s
funeral in Egypt.

Here are some facts on the Dear Ole Hubby:
He was shot while fighting with the Muslim Brotherhood. He favoured Sharia Law (as he posted on his Face-book page. He favoured a far harsher approach to Islamic Purism, as adhered to within Salafism. He was no "moderate" and was over there to fight democracy.
Amr Kassem was no innocent bystander. He was shot while rioting with his Muslim Brotherhood brethren. His wife helped run the Toronto Branch of the AlMaghrib Institute, which has a long association with Muslim terrorism and is more commonly known as Jihad U.
From their fund raising page set up by the AlMaghrib Institute: "Many of those involved in da'wah will know sister Asmaa Hussein, the former Ameerah of Qabeelat Majd (our Toronto chapter) and someone who has been active on the Toronto da'wah scene before moving to Egypt with her husband Amr Kassem." Note she wasn't visiting Egypt as reported - she had moved there.
AlMaghrib Institute: Sharia for Egypt and the West
Two More Terrorists Traced Back to 'Jihad U.'
More on the AlMaghrib Institute - Jihad U ` "The organization's Wahhabi-influenced extremism, rabid anti-Semitism and Holocaust denials, and militaristic preaching of jihad even have other Muslims expressing concern about the radicalizing effect of Al-Maghrib's preaching and programs."
Imported Jihadism, pure and simple.
