Mosque helping Khadr accused of terror links

So says the title of today's article in the Toronto Star. Once again, and as with all of the accusations of terrorism against Muslims, I wanted to see the evidence. Here is the only elaboration of "evidence" in the article:

Lead prosecutor Howard Piafsky told the court that the Khadr patriarch Ahmed Said Khadr, who was believed to have close ties to Osama bin Laden and many of those charged in the so-called Toronto 18 terrorist plot, often visited the centre and used its facilities.


Note "believed to have close ties". Note also "and many of those charged in the so-called Toronto 18 terrorist plot" (need I point out that none of these men have been convicted?). And this constitutes "terror links"?

It's no wonder that so many people remain ignorant, and that Muslims continue to be targeted by racists.
