Montreal Jan 25 2025 Statement from the Canadian Muslim Forum in Montreal, Quebec
As-salamu alaykum, Eight years ago tonight, six men knelt in prayer, never to rise again on this mortal plane. Their last moments were spent in devotion—in a house of peace, among their brothers, as they turned their hearts toward God. And yet, even there, hate found them. Even there, violence shattered the stillness of prayer.
OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 29, 2025 The Honourable Kamal Khera, Minister of Diversity, Inclusion and Persons with Disabilities, and Amira Elghawaby, Canada's Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, made the following statement:
OTTAWA December 17, 2024 A new study is exposing how race, gender, and religion intersect to create inequities in custody cases with biases—including racism, Islamophobia, and sexism—often shaping outcomes to the detriment of fathers and their children.
The House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights released its report, entitled “Islamophobia On The Rise: Taking Action, Confronting Hate, and Protecting Civil Liberties Together” in December 2024.
Montreal, December 11, 2024 — Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (CJPME) is raising significant concerns about the contradictory recommendations in a pair of reports from Parliament’s Justice and Human Rights Committee (JUST) that seemingly acknowledge anti-Palestinian racism (APR) while simultaneously suppressing pro-Palestine speech and activism.
OTTAWA, ON. On December 10, 2024, on Human Rights Day, the Office of the Federal Ombudsperson for Victims of Crime (OFOVC) released a report titled Strengthening Access to Justice for Victims of Hate Crime in Canada.
Please see this open letter, signed by hundreds of concerned groups across Ontario and Canada, to the Crown Attorney’s Office that recently decided to withdraw charges against an individual who was filmed attacking a Muslim woman earlier this year in Ottawa.
