Canadian Muslim groups are raising concerns after an incident involving a man pursuing two men and attempting to forcibly enter a mosque in Montreal was captured on surveillance footage.
The incident, which spread online, has been condemned by the country’s justice minister.
Islamophobic and anti-Muslim attacks have surged in recent years, the most high-profile being the mass shooting at Quebec City mosque in 2017, when a white Canadian man shot and killed six people.
A recent Statistics Canada report found that hate crimes against Muslim communities across the country increased by 71 percent in 2021.
