Slimi was considered as a candidate to play a role in Canadian former Guantanamo detainee Omar Khadr's rehabilitation, after he returns to Canada.[1] Khadr's attorney, Lieutenant Commander William C. Kuebler, suggested Slimi draft a "religious rehabilitation" program, to prepare for Khadr's return.
Kuebler describes Slimi as a "bridge-builder". In 2008, Slimi became "the first Muslim to address Toronto's Neighbourhood Interfaith Group".[1]
