MONTREAL — In preparation for the National Summit on Islamophobia, the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) released a series of recommendations that were reported in the media.
As their report rightly states, Canadian Muslims are not a monolithic group.
As Canadian citizens of Muslim culture or religion, we welcome all initiatives to combat hatred and intolerance and to foster social cohesion and understanding among citizens.
However, not only do we not see any social cohesion in the NCCM’s recommendations, but we consider, on the contrary, that their report only exacerbates tensions and accentuates anti-Muslim feelings.
