More controversial Muslim books discovered for sale in Canada
 An Islamic bookstore in east Toronto sells books that encourage Muslims to usurp the Western world and install an Islamic State in its place. The books, written by deceased Islamic scholar Sayyid Abul Ala Maududi, are available at the Islamic Circle of North America bookstore.In Jihad in Islam, Maududi wrote, "Islam wishes to destroy all States and Governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation that rules it. Islam requires the earth -- not just a portion -- but the whole planet." Maududi was an influential Pakistani journalist, theologian and Muslim leader who wrote more than 120 books and pamphlets and lived from 1903 to 1979. In the preface to one of his books, he is described as an author who "provided the present-day revival of Islam with its intellectual foundations." Maududi's books carry a common theme of Islam as a revolutionary "ideology and program which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals." "Jihad," which he refers to in at least one book as a war against non-Muslims,
A request for the Islamic Society of Toronto to discuss the books was not immediately returned. When one of the store's managers was asked by a reporter who posed as a customer whether he stocked "Jihad in Islam", he said he hadn't carried it for years because the RCMP had visited his store to ask questions about why it would carry such a book. Another manager said the store didn't carry any of the six books on the reporter's list. Within 30 minutes, the reporter found Jihad in Islam and four of Maududi's other titles stacked on a bottom shelf in the middle of the store. When it was revealed to the store manager that it was a Toronto Sun reporter who bought those books, he was irate, stating he "will say nothing" before he disappeared into an office at the back of the store. In the The Process of the Islamic Revolution, Maududi wrote that Muslims "should be prepared to sacrifice all prospects of personal advancement in wordily life" including giving up friends and their own and their parent's expectations to further the expansion of Islam. "Society, government, law, nation, country, whatsoever obstructs the achievement of their object [of an Islamic Revolution], they should be prepared to struggle against it," he wrote. He wrote it is "impossible" for Muslims to live under an "alien State System" and observe Muslim beliefs. In Jihad In Islam, Maududi wrote, "All rules which he considers wrong; all taxes that he deems unlawful; all matters which he believes to be evil; the civilization and way of life which, in his view, are wicked; the education system which seems to him as fatal -- all these will be so inexorably imposed on him, his and his children that evasion will become impossible." As soon as Islam "captures" another state, it will ban gambling and prostitution, outlaw forbidden business dealings and "make it obligatory for non-Muslim women to observe the minimum standards of modesty in dress as required by Islamic Law."
