Islamophobia widespread in Canada, early findings of Senate committee study indicate
Islamophobia and violence against Muslims is widespread and deeply entrenched in Canadian society, early findings from a Senate committee studying the issue indicate.
“Some of these women were afraid to leave their homes and it became difficult for them to take their children to school. Many were spat on,” Ataullahjan said. ” Muslims have to look over their shoulder constantly.” The findings from those conversations are now being put together in a report, which the committee began drafting this week, Ataullahjan said.
The committee looked at the cases of Black Muslim women in Edmonton who were violently assaulted in recent years. The committee will also detail day-to-day aggression against Muslim Canadians, including accounts from hijab-wearing girls in schools who don’t feel comfortable reporting instances of Islamophobia to police, Ataullahjan said.
