Father of VIA terror suspect came forward with concerns, imam says | News | National Post
TORONTO—A Toronto Muslim leader said Tuesday the father of one of the suspects arrested over an alleged plot to attack a VIA Rail train had approached him with concerns about his son’s hardening views of Islam.
Mohammed Robert Heft said the father had asked repeatedly for help with his son, Raed Jaser, 35. The discussions took place between 2009 and 2011, while the father was living in the basement of Mr. Heft’s home in Markham, Ont.
“He never mentioned anything to me about violence, he only mentioned to me about being rigid in his understanding of Islam, and it was concerning him because it was becoming intolerable in terms of having discussions about religion with his son.”

Nice to see the Muslim community finally standing up and taking a stand.
It is what has been missing in the past and is very nice to see.
Well done to the person who took the risk to report it, he/she potentially saved lives.
(come to think of it mostly likely a 'he' cause the woman are in the back of the mosque as they have to be separated from the men)
