He cleaned the rugs, so we tolerated his anti-West hate speech

Apparently, the members of the Al-Rahman Islamic Center were really desperate for good janitorial help since they 'tolerated' Canadian terror suspect Qayyam Abdul Jamal's hate speech in exchange for those services.

In 2003, [teenage Canadian terror suspect Saad] Khalid's mother died in an accident. In the following years, he became more strident about his Muslim faith. He formed athe Religious Awareness Club to preach Islam during lunch hours at the Meadowvale school. He spent time with two older classmates, Fahim Ahmad, now 21, and Zakaria Amara, 20, the government contends....

Khalid and the others began attending a mosque together, teacher Ahmed Amiruddin told CBC Radio last week. "They would enter into the mosque to pray. They would come in military fatigues," he said. "It looked to me like they were watching a lot of these Chechnyan jihad videos online."

I don't know how someone can 'look' like they're watching a certain type of online video unless they---oh, I dunno---showed those videos to others in the mosque. I haven't heard anyone tell me 'Hey, Feisty....you look like you've been watching technoboyjustin on YouTube a lot', that's for sure.

Gradually, they gravitated to the Al-Rahman Islamic Center, a storefront mosque in a small strip mall in Mississauga. There they met Qayyam Abdul Jamal, 43, a taciturn Pakistani native with an angry view of the world. He cleaned the rugs and took out the trash at the mosque. For those services, the directors tolerated his vitriolic speeches that portrayed Muslims as oppressed by the West, according to people familiar with the mosque.

Robert at JihadWatch questions the authenticity of the janitorial work for jihad barter-system employment arrangement:

He took out the trash, so we let him preach jihad. Imagine the press reaction if a church let the guy who unlocked the doors preach hatred and violence to the youth group because, well, he unlocks the doors. It's amazing that so many reporters seem to pass this on with a straight face.

Yeah, I'm SURE the mosque really disagreed with mass murder of Westerners, but the decent job that dude did on the rugs totally outweighed the need to tell him to stop it.
