A man the RCMP and CSIS are calling an informant—working for them to help nap the 17 suspected terrorism suspect in Toronto recently —seems rather confused about his loyalties.
[…] Shaikh is also the multicultural chair for Liberal MP Alan Tonks’ York South-Weston riding association.
His biography on Tonks’ website reads: “Traveller, philosopher, theologian, Mubin Shaikh is not your ordinary Torontonian. At first look, one might think they’ve encountered an extremist but on second take, you realize you’ve been had!”
Tonks said he has had a 10-year relationship with Shaikh and his father.
“Mubin just articulates that sort of loyalty to the country, that acts of terrorism that have occurred are aberrations to their concept of (Islam),” Tonks said in an interview yesterday.
“His overall loyalty to the country is unquestionable.”
But how in tarnation does that jive with this statement in the article?:
He said he supports the jihad in Afghanistan and Iraq, but not attacks on civilians at home.
So he supports killing our Canadian men and women in Afghanistan and Americans and Brits and Aussies and so on in Iraq? And he works for a Liberal Party MP. Check!
And this helps too:
Shaikh was the province’s most vocal advocate for allowing the use of sharia law, a set of Muslim rules and guidelines, to settle family law matters under Ontario’s arbitration act.

And:
“He has been the number one proponent of the imposition of sharia law in Canada, has been extremely hostile to all moderate Muslims, which calls into question whether he’s acting out of sincerity or is he trying to fish himself out of his own troubles,” Tarek Fatah, co-founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, said yesterday.
The Tonks website cheerfully adds at the bottom of his bio:
Look for him at the Liberal BBQ’s, he flips a mean burger!
