The Right Honorable Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada Office of the Prime Minister 80 Wellington Street Ottawa, ON K1A 0A2 Dear Prime Minister Trudeau, June 6th, 2021, marked yet another lethal attack on the Canadian Muslim community. As you are aware, a family was the victim of a premeditated, hate motivated terror attack as they were on a night-time walk. They have been survived solely by a nine-year-old son. Our community lost three generations in a single night. The event signals the ongoing reality of Canada’s ...
Open Letter to the Prime Minister: Taking Action on White Supremacist Groups
Read the open letter to the Prime Minister and to all official leaders. Our communities are still reeling from the incident that took place this September 12, 2020. On that day, a member of the Canadian community, Mohamed-Aslim Zafis, was ruthlessly killed in front of the IMO Mosque in Toronto by an individual with apparent links to a neo-Nazi group. This attack did not happen in isolation. This attack is one in a long series of a chain of horrifying attacks on racialized communities in Canada. Faith-based communities, as well as racialized communities, have faced attacks on our homes, our places of worship, our children, and our congregants at ...

L’erreur concernant les données relatives aux crimes de haine à Québec est un symptôme d’un problème plus grave
- Pour diffusion immédiate - (Montréal - 23 août 2019) Moins de 24 heures après que le Conseil national des musulmans canadiens (CNMC) a appelé la police de Québec (SPVQ) pour expliquer la divergence dans les données sur les crimes motivés par la haine, la police de Québec a admis que son rapport était erroné. Cependant, le problème est plus profond que l'erreur humaine. Statistique Canada a signalé 89 crimes de haine à Québec en 2018 et le SPVQ 27. «L'ampleur de la différence est beaucoup trop grande pour que cela soit simplement un problème d'erreur humaine. C'est une défaillance du système», a déclaré Mustafa ...
Quebec City Hate Crimes Data Error is a Symptom of a Deeper Problem

However, the problem is deeper than human error.

Les Écarts Entre Le Fédéral et La Police De La Ville De Québec Par Rapport Aux Statistiques Relatives Aux Crimes Haineux Sont Alarmantes
- Pour diffusion immédiate - (Montréal - 22 août 2019) Le Conseil national des musulmans canadiens (CNMC) est préoccupé par le fait que les données fédérales de 2018 de Statistique Canada suggèrent que les incidents motivés par la haine à Québec étaient trois fois plus nombreux que ceux rapportés par la police de Québec (SPVQ). « En mettant de côté l’écart entre les données, nous ne pensons pas qu’il est approprié que la police de Québec se félicite pour le déclin des crimes motivés par la haine. La mosquée de la ville de Québec, où six hommes ont été tués dans un attentat motivé par la haine en 2017, continue ...
