(Canadian Press) Dareen Shilbayeh can’t stop herself from looking over her shoulder while out in public.
The London, Ont., resident who wears a hijab says she’s been worried she’ll be targeted because of her faith ever since a Muslim family was killed in the city this summer.
“Every corner I take, even at the mall, when it’s a public place, it’s like, I have to be careful,” said the 19-year-old who grew up in London and is a student at the city’s Western University.
It’s a sentiment many Muslim Canadians have shared after four members of the Afzaal family, who were out for an evening stroll, were run down and killed by a vehicle in what police have called an attack motivated by hate.
