List of recommendations from National Council of Canadian Muslims come days before National Summit on Islamophobia.
A leading Muslim advocacy group has issued dozens of recommendations to tackle Islamophobia in Canada in the aftermath of deadly attacks and hate incidents targeting members of the Muslim community in recent years. The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) issued 61 recommendations on Monday, including the development of a federal anti-Islamophobia strategy by the end of the year and funding to help support victims of hate-motivated crimes. “While we have heard many words from politicians condemning Islamophobia and standing in solidarity with Muslims in Canada, action to tackle Islamophobia has been slow and piecemeal,” the group said in its report.
