OTTAWA—Some Muslim Liberal MPs say they’re afraid for their families and communities as the Israel-Hamas war has fuelled a rise in Islamophobia and racism over the last week.
Three MPs who spoke with the Star on Tuesday described feeling intense fear as they’ve seen disturbing reports of Islamophobia, including against their own family members, just as Jewish MPs have spoken out against an uptick in antisemitic incidents since the war started.
Muslims fear backlash from tomorrow’s planned atrocities.
