BC imam gets 3.5 years for sexual assault in mosque

Christopher WilsonRebel Commentator

Saadeldin Bahr, the 55-year-old former imam and spiritual leader of the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre in Port Coquitlam, BC, has been convicted of one count of sexual assault and sentenced to three and a half years in prison.

Back in September, 2013, a female member of the mosque asked Saadeldin Bahr for spiritual guidance.

Watch as I tell you some of the graphic details of the assault, the attempted cover up, and the imam's victim-blaming in court. 

As always, I wanted to give the Masjid Al-Hidayah and Islamic Cultural Centre a chance to respond before I put out my story. I called and tried asking one simple question:

What policies will you put in place to make sure this doesn’t happen again?

No woman or girl is safe from these sexual predators. Proof positive they even rape their own, disgusting animals.

This sentence will be cut down a lot for this guy. And the media will be silent.

Upon his release will his name be entered into the sexual offenders book.?? Are authorities required to notify the families involved of his release and will there be stipulations to his release like he can’t come within 100 miles of children.
Time will tell.!!

Someone else posted this on another thread but it is powerful and rings true.

Gary.. He will be put into general population and there he will hook up with more of his followers and no doubt indoctrinate a few from outside of that faith, radicalize as many as he can and then send them back into the real world to create destruction and chaos.!!

Glen Craig… There is nothing normal about celebrity or segregation in churches… That only exists within the Catholic religion. As stated by God "one man for every woman and one woman for every man.!!

That is a fact Bill Elder…!! Very well stated with no wiggle room for denial.!!

That it happens in churches too is not the point… The point is they support pedophilia and actually support it so this in their own culture is not a crime but it is a crime in hours… Even though there was not much justice served maybe it will set a precedence and and harsher justice may be administrated.!

@Bill Elder….I am not a christian clergyman today because of sexual abuse of power….

Celebacy and sexual segregation were normal things once in churches and for good reason. And yes Bill Smith I have duely marked your words.

Get ready for it….. of course their natural instinct is to deny, deny, deny…. but eventually the imam will be found guilty beyond any possibility of denial… then it will move to stage 2…. “well, it happens in Churches also”.
Mark my words.

There will be other victims who come forward. He is a predator, and given his age, he has been sexually abusing within his community & outside of his community.
I’m surprised he didn’t declare a temporary marriage as his defense. Blaming the victim is standard practice; and the toilet seat cannot possibly inject his semen into her vagina; what a depraved moron!

This story contains just about all you need to know about the unpredictable nature of Mosque culture. Are they worship centers for the faithful? Are they open inclusive places where the congregation is eager to share the tenets of their faith and spirituality with Canadians of all creeds? Do the leaders of these institutions have any recognized divinity school training or theological society membership to which they are accountable? Or are they something quite the opposite?

In this case it appears any con artist with a fast grift who can pull some quotes from the Koran out when needed can ordain himself a doctorate in theological sexual predation.

Now the appeal process begins until this imam of satan is found not guilty by an activist superior court.

Some spiritual leader!

If there was any real justice this perp would be put into genpop but he will likely be in protective custody with the other sex offenders and paedophiles.

Swell. Now this moron will be able to proselytize to his heart’s content to the rest of the prison population.
Too bad he can’t serve his whole term in isolation.

Imagine the uproar, especially in the Lugenpresse had this occurred with a Christian or other faith beyond Islam. It would be deafening and non – stop!
commented 2017-05-24 16:40:56 -0400
Usual practice of islam. Nothing new here. This is what the left and the gov’t want.
