Tariq Abdelhaleem (طارق عبد الحليم; born 1 September 1948) is an Egyptian Islamist cleric and scholar residing in Canada in Ontario's city of Mississauga and former head of the Dar al-Arqam Institution there. Tariq Abdelhaleem, along with Abu Qatada, Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, and Hani al-Sibai was praised by Ayman al-Zawahiri, the leader of Al-Qaeda. Although being used as a scholarly reference by the group, he has no direct affiliation. He was born on September 1, 1948, in the al-Jami' ul-Isma'ili area of Cairo. His father was a former head of Tax cassation and a lawyer named Abdul Hafeedh Ahmad from a family of Upper Egypt origins in Qena Governorate. His maternal great-grandfather - a native of the Beheira Governorate - was named Salim Al-Bishri who was a Shaykh al-Islām and grand imam of Al-Azhar University from 1899 - 1903 and then again from 1909 - 1917. His maternal grandfather was Abdul Azeez al Bishri, a memorizer of Hadith, and his mother was Zaynab Abdul Azeez Saleem al-Bishri.

Ideology and causes

In an article in the Arab Times, Abdelhaleem was credited for helping refute the 9/11 Truth movement conspiracy film 911: In Plane Site.

Abdelhaleem declared liberals and secularists as "infidels" and called for them to be killed, in his hopes of accelerate a violent clash between Islamists and secularists and liberals. His work was published by jihadist fugitive Hani al-Siba'i who is wanted in Egypt. Hani al-Sibai wrote an article defending Tariq Abdelhaleem from criticism. Tariq Abdelhaleem issued a joint statement with Hani al-Siba'i condemning ISIS in 2014.

In the aftermath of the overthrow of the Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood, Tariq Abdelhaleem posted a video of himself called a "message to the Mujahideen of Egypt" calling for violent jihad, and shedding of blood against Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, cursing Sisi, calling him "a Jew", and accusing Sisi of being pro-Christian, and of supporting the Coptic Pope.

In an article published in the 19th edition of the Turkistan Islamic Party's magazine "Islamic Turkistan" Tariq Abdelhaleem named Buddhists as the enemy of Turkistan. In the magazine, Abdelhaleem singled out the Persian Gulf, Jordan, the Levant, and Egypt as places of an internal enemy of Islam and the Caucasus, Chechnya, Afghanistan, and Turkistan as places of an occupying enemy of Islam.
