Excerpt:
A Senate committee is calling for Canada to go much further in cracking down on radicalism and terrorism, including training and certifying the credentials of Muslim imams as a means of stamping out "extreme ideas."
The controversial focus on religious leaders is part of a report from the Senate committee on national security and defence that represents the view of its Conservative majority. The report, however, does not have the support of Liberal members of the committee.
The training and certification idea drew swift condemnation from the Muslim community, which labelled it religious discrimination.
