Summary
Most recently, Black Muslim women in the province of Alberta have reported a series of verbal and physical assaults, while a mosque caretaker in Toronto was fatally stabbed.A man hands out candles during a vigil in memory of the Afzaal family, in Montreal, Quebec, on June 11 [Andrej Ivanov/Reuters]Abd Alfatah Twakkal, a Muslim faith leader in London, told Al Jazeera earlier this week that Muslim community members were shaken by the attack.Thousands of people marched in the city on Friday evening to show solidarity with the family and demand action, while vigils were held in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, the capital, among other places across the country.“We have deep roots in this community, and to be able to have our sense of safety shattered – this is our home, we’re supposed to feel safe at home, we’re supposed to feel safe walking the streets of our beautiful city,” said Twakkal, adding that all forms of racism and discrimination must be rejected.“Those systemic forms of discrimination or racism that exist within our society, they need to be addressed, they need to be dealt with, they need to be undone.”Follow Al Jazeera English:
