Dear Community members of Ottawa,

The Black Muslim Initiative and the National Council of Canadian Muslims call for an independent investigation in the matter involving Mamadi III Fara Camara

The Islamophobia Is video series was conceptualized by legal academic and journalist Azeezah Kanji and social worker and educator Khadijah Kanji of Noor Cultural Centre, in collaboration with award-winning documentary producer, Aeyliya Husain.

On January 29, we marked 4 years since the tragic Quebec mosque shooting.

Like all of the victims of the Quebec mosque shooting, Mamadou Barry's death not only impacted his family-leaving behind a widow, two young orphans, and his recently widowed mother who had just come to live with her son in Quebec City- it crushed the dream of access to clean drinking water for his village in the West African country of Guinea.

Barry was raising funds to install a 100-meter-deep well in his village, located outside of Labe, Guinea's second-largest city.

Salam friends,

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