The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) and the Institute of Islamic Studies (IIS) at the University of Toronto are launching a report entitled Under Layered Suspicion: A Review of CRA Audits of Muslim-led Charities [on March 29].

The Canadian Council of Imams (CCI) has called upon the Federal Minister of National Revenue Diane Lebouthillier to initiate an investigation into the existence of Islamophobic practices in the Canada Revenue Agency’s (CRA) Charities Directorate and the CRA’s use of its privileges as a regulatory agency to deliberately discredit respected Canadian Muslim leaders.

Assalam Mosque, also known as the Ottawa Islamic Centre, has had its charitiable status revoked by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA).
