For Immediate Release
Three Women’s HR Complaint Against Syed Soharwardy Was a Hoax
ISCC Planning to File Criminal Defamation Lawsuit
Calgary) On January 15, 2008 an alleged human rights complaint was posted
on www.ezralevant.com . According to the posted complaint three women
allegedly complaint to the Human Rights Commission that they were
discriminated, threatened, harassed, verbally and physically abused at the
Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre. This complaint was later picked up by
“someone” at the Calgary Herald and made a story out of it. Several racist
websites posted this “HOAX” and condemned Syed Soharwardy for discriminating
and insulting these three women. Syed Soharwardy received several hateful
threats in emails.
However, the ISCC, the Al Madinah Islamic Centre and Imam Syed Soharwardy
had denied these accusations. “This incident NEVER took place. This is a
fabricated story and a plot by the hatemongers and those who do not like the
Interfaith work that Imam Syed Soharwardy has been doing for several years.
“I have been blamed by some fanatics within the Muslim community that I am
engaging Jews and Christians in dialogues at our mosque. These fanatics do
not like Muslims to develop better relationships with Jews and Christians”,
Imam Syed Soharwardy told the reporters in his press conference on February
3, 2008.
Mr. Athar Zaidi, President of Pakistan Canada Association, Calgary was
present in that meeting where three women were alleging that they were
discriminated. Mr. Athar Zaidi told the Calgary Herald on February 5th that
he was in the meeting and this incident did not take place at all. However,
the Calgary Herald did not bother to publish Mr. Zaidi’s statement and did
not bother to validate the story from the Alberta Human Rights Commission or
any member of the Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre.
According to www.ezralevant.com, the three women filed their HR complaint on
December 28, 2007. However, the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship
Commission has not yet informed Syed Soharwardy about this alleged
complaint. If there was a complaint, Syed Soharwardy should have received a
notice from AHRCC within 14 days. Therefore, we are confident that this
alleged complaint was a hoax or it has been rejected by the AHRCC.
On February 15, 2008, the Calgary Herald and the www.ezralevant.com
published another story of an alleged assault on a woman in Calgary NE. This
woman was one of the three women who filed the alleged complaint at the
Alberta Human Rights Commission. According to the Calgary Herald and
www.ezralevant.com , this woman implicated Al Madinah Islamic Centre in her
alleged assault case.
The Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre and its head Imam Syed Soharwardy have
repeatedly informed the media that we strongly condemn the assault on this
woman and we have nothing to do with it. Imam Syed Soharwardy is a very
respectable and highly educated Calgarian.
Last week, Calgary Police has confirmed that Imam Syed Soharwardy and other
members of Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre are not suspects in this case.
There has been no proof that could link this assault with any member of the
Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre.
Imam Syed Soharwardy has asked the Calgary Police to investigate the alleged
assault on the woman thoroughly and look into the possibility that the
confrontation was staged in order to create negative publicity for the Al
Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre and Imam Syed Soharwardy.
In a statement today, Imam Syed Soharwardy said, “The alliance of anti-Islam
hatemongers and few opportunists within the Muslim community will not
succeed in stopping me from serving my country; Canada, my community and my
religion. The hatemongers will fail in their hate and we, law-abiding and
civilized Canadians will succeed in defeating the racist, illegal, hateful
and bullying agenda of few hatemongers”.
Our lawyers are working hard on a criminal defamation lawsuit to be filed
soon. We are also working to use all other available legal channels
including Human Rights Commissions to bring the hatemongers to face Canadian
justice system.
Imam Syed Soharwardy will be available to the media today (March 5, 2008) at
12:00 noon – 02:00 PM at the Al Madinah Calgary Islamic Centre, 5700
Falsbridge Drive, Calgary NE for any questions. Imam Syed Soharwardy can be
reached at 403-463-5723.
Thanks

what a bunch of BS that there is no evidence linking the AL Madina TERORISTS to the Attack, the people that broke in SAID “WE ARE FROM AL MADINAH ISLAMIC CENTER, this is a warning for you to take back your human rights compaint”. The AL MADINAH people are made in CANADA TERORISTS.
