I will be at IMO for Jumaah insha Allah.
There are so many clean, attractive, well-managed, decent masjids all across Toronto and you chose the most filthy, corrupt, worst-managed place to offer your prayer ? Buddy, you really need to have your head examined !
We doing we rounds Bro.
I was at IIT in Scarborough this evening.
Right now having dinner at Sizzling Skillet.
Brief/key information on IMO: 1) incorporated as a charity in April 1997, 2) board of directors remained virtually unchanged since inception, 3) no board member has university degree/qualification, 4) except for 1 individual, no director has ever attended high school, 5) membership only allowed to relatives/friends/associates of president and secretary, 6) continuing decline in attendance over time, 7) premises very poorly maintained; literally stinks, and 8) continued declining annual revenue.
There has always been strong pre-occupation with power and control by the president and secretary, both of whom are largely uneducated as neither has had the benefit of even high school tuition. More than 90% of the people who supported IMO opening were Guyanese, however, most of them have since moved off to other mosques because of the complete absence of transparency and lack of changes to the board of directors over the past 20 years. Canada Revenue Agency website clearly indicates ongoing decline in revenue and it is rather doubtful that the organization will be able to continue with the existing lot of 'permanent' board members and continuing decline in donation revenue. The 'clique' at IMO continues to claim, however, that they are the best in Toronto .......the saga continues; but for how long ??
