Imam Khaled Sayed came to Ottawa from Egypt as new Imam of Ottawa Mosque in less than a year ago.

Nobody doubts that he is a very knowledgeable person, however, there are people who are opposing him as Imam because he cannot speak English the way they speak it. He contributed to LinkMuslims.com by writing Moral Corruption – ‘Youth and Sex’.

Due to strong opposition from the minority but outspoken group at Ottawa Mosque, Imam Khaled Sayed may be leaving for Egypt soon.

The reality is that Ottawa Muslim Association tried for over eighteen months to find a homegrown Imam but had to request Egypt after failed attempts to find one.  Once the decision was made to appoint present Imam, he should be allowed to complete his term.  He has some language problem and I am sure that he is trying his best to overcome that barrier to communicate with young Muslims who may just come to Mosque only once a week.

I would request Ottawa Muslims Association and all those Muslims who are opposing Imam Khaled Sayed to let him finish his term. Honouring the contracts is also part of Muslim faith then why not let him complete his contractual term as Imam at Ottawa Mosque.
