(Insauga.com) A Canadian Muslim advocacy group is adding its voice to a call for all federal parties to support the creation of a special office to try to dismantle the rising Islamophobia in Canada.
On Wednesday afternoon, the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) asked allies to call on the major federal parties to support the creation of an Office of the Special Envoy on [Islamophobia]. The call comes in the wake of the alleged terroristic quadruple murders in London, Ont., in June. A 20-year-old man, Nathaniel Veltman, allegedly attacked five members of a Muslim Pakistani Canadian family with his truck. Four family members died and a nine-year-old boy was injured and orphaned.
“Our communities have faced terrible violence in the last five years,” the NCCM’s Twitter thread reads in part.
