The Point de Bascule blog is reporting that an advisor to a Canadian agency similar to the US Department of Homeland Security has been suspended pending an investigation into his ties to Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas related organizations. According to the report:

U.S. government agencies and officials have argued that WAMY has helped spread Islamic extremism around the world as well as sponsoring terrorism in places such as Bosnia, Israel, and India.
