Pakistani Canadian author, filmmaker, and creative producer @studentasim has developed an online platform to combat Islamophobia by showcasing the voices of Muslims and their allies.

The victims of Jan 29th, 2017 attack on the Quebec City mosque perished as they stood to pray.

National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) granted leave at the Supreme Court of Canada to intervene in the Quebec City mosque shooter case.

Canadian Council of Muslim Women (CCMW)’s  #Hate2Healing campaign includes a powerful video which captures this trauma of online hate in the story of Noor, a young woman in Canada whose experience with online hate should cause us all to feel the need to act.

Since December 2020, there has been assaults and attacks on Black and racialized Muslim women in Edmonton, Alberta, most of which go unreported.

On September 12th, 2020, Mohamed Aslam-Zafis was taken in an act of Islamophobic violence at the IMO mosque by a man allegedly linked to a white supremacist organization called the O9A. Before his life was cut short, Mohamed was handing out food to the needy.

A Pakistani-Canadian family out on a stroll on a warm weekend evening was murdered in a horrific act of Islamophobic violence in London, Ont. A nine-year-old boy, hospitalized with serious injuries, is the only survivor of a terror attack that killed his sister, father, mother and grandmother.

Salam friends,

A year ago, I sat with Aymen Derbali at the third anniversary of the Quebec City Mosque shooting.
