Governance Issues - 25 Years of Dictatorship
The following individuals have been members of the Board since 1997, representing 25 years of insularity.
They will not let you become a member or vote on the direction and future of IMO.
They will not let you run for a position on the Board.
Think of how many Imams' have come and gone.
They are happy to take our money but treat the Masjid as their own property.
OMAR FAROUQ , President, since 1997-09-08
AMEER ALI, Secretary, since 1997-09-08
FIZRODEEN KHAN, Secretary, since 1997-09-08

The Board at IMO is addicted to RIBA. IMO was purchased in 1998 for 1.8 million with debt. They have not stopped borrowing and misspending OUR MONEY.
Gymnasium over budget by $3 Million: Our analysis of Canada Revenue Agency data shows the INCOMPLETE Gymnasium and Janazah area that was originally budgeted at $1.2 million (construction was to have been completed circa 2015) and funded by OUR DONATIONS has now cost $4+ million.
$1.5 million in debt: In 2015 IMO had a debt charge of what we believe to be approximately $1 million attached to the property by https://epireon.com/ . This was replaced by a charge on 2019/03/01 in the amount of $1.5 million by 2681477 Ontario Limited (per Land Registry search) - the registered office of the Company is a Board Member's Sister's house. We estimate IMO incurred $500,000+ in interest costs between 2015 and 2019.
$75,000 Annual Interest Payment for Nothing: The debt charge from 2019/03/01 in the amount of $1.5 million by 2681477 Ontario Limited was due on 2021/03/01. There is no record of discharge. We conclude it still costs IMO at least $75,000 per year (guess where your donations are going) to service.
Could the above financial mismanagement be the reason President Omar is so motivated to turn our Masjid into a piggy bank?
Can we trust President Omar and the Board to manage anything?
