Yesterday, Calgary Police descended on the University of Calgary to break the encampments, in scenes reminiscent of attacks on students protestors many years ago at Kent State.
National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) Statement on Justice Committee Studying Islamophobia and anti-Semitism
We [National Council of Canadian Muslims] are at the Supreme Court of Canada this week to launch our new battle to strike down Quebec’s Bill 21 law that bans people from wearing hijab and other religious symbols in the public service.
Today, as we inch closer to the midway point of this holy month, so many of our hearts continue to ache as the people of Gaza and Palestine continue to face renewed invasion and bombardment.
Assalamu alaikum / Peace be upon you
Yesterday was an unprecedented day for Muslims in Canada.
Over 300 Muslim institutions and mosques across Canada have issued a joint letter with one simple message to all Members of Parliament:
As Ramadan quickly approaches, our community has come together more than ever to stand for justice and accountability both at home and abroad.
After the London Terror Attack that took away four members of the same Muslim family, our community has pushed hard for a free standing hate crime provision in our Criminal Code that delivers real accountability.
Help Stem the Tide against violent #Islamophobia.
