Canadian politicians warn of growing Islamophobia after an attack on an Islamic centre. Canadian politicians on Thursday condemned the hate incident that targeted the Islamic Center in Cambridge, Canada.
Activists considered a result of government policies and the media coverage of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip. In January 2023, Canada appointed its first Special Representative to Combat Islamophobia (hatred of Islam), a position created after a recent series of attacks targeting Muslims in the country. In June 2021, 4 members of a Muslim family were killed when someone ran them over with his truck in Ontario.
