Montreal Junior College Ends Contract With Islamic Teacher To Use School Space

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 16 Apr, 2015 12:40 PM
    MONTREAL — A Montreal junior college is cutting ties with an Islamic educator who was once considered a terrorist suspect by the federal government.
     
    College de Rosemont is ending its contract with Adil Charkaoui because he has allegedly refused to respect school regulations.
     
    Charkaoui ran kickboxing and karate classes in a space he had rented in the school since 2010.
     
    College de Rosemont and another junior college, College de Maisonneuve, suspended their contracts with Charkaoui in February amid reports one of six 
     
    Quebec youths who fled to Turkey and may have joined jihadist groups in the Middle East had briefly attended courses at College de Maisonneuve.
     
    The schools also claimed the website associated with Charkaoui's Islamic centre linked to external sites promoting violence and radicalism.
     
    College de Maisonneuve in March allowed the resumption of Charkaoui's Arabic lessons at its school but said it reserved the right to have an observer present in the classroom.
     
    Charkaoui, a Moroccan-born Montrealer, lived under tight restrictions for several years after Ottawa accused him of being a terrorist, but he was never charged.
