Canadian Government To Bar Homophobic Imam From Entering Country

http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/06/062906imam.htm

A British imam, scheduled to address a Muslim youth conference in Toronto this weekend reportedly has been told he is not welcome in the country.

The federal government has instructed the immigration department to block his entry if he decides to ignore the warning the CTV television network reported on Thursday.

Sheikh Riyadh ul-Haq, the Imam at Birmingham's Central mosque, has a long history of inflammatory speech aimed at gays, Jews and moderate Muslims.

CTV reports that ul Haq was recently called into the Canadian High Commission in London and was told he would not be admissible to Canada on grounds that his views could incite hatred and violence.
