Joe Adam George: In Canada, radicalization is happening in plain sight

Last month, the Ahlul-Bayt Mosque, a prominent Shiite Islamic centre in Windsor, Ont., held a memorial to mark the first anniversary of slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah’s death. It was the second consecutive year the mosque — and its affiliated Islamic school — has celebrated the life of a dreaded militant whose organization is listed as a terrorist entity under Canadian law.

This was not a one-off incident. The mosque has previously hosted events glorifying the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khomeini and other Hezbollah “martyrs.”
