Dear Prime Minister Trudeau:
Muslim communities are still reeling from the devastating terrorist attack in Quebec in January 29, 2017, which claimed the lives of six Muslim men worshiping in their mosque and gravely injured many others. It was an unprecedented attack that left a Canadian place of worship – a sacred sanctuary – a scene of unimaginable carnage.
Now, as a member of the Canadian community, Mohamed-Aslim Zafis, was ruthlessly ...
CSIS LIED TO CANADIANS AGAIN
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) has reviewed two recent federal court decisions that show how the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) failed Canadians. CSIS failed to fulfill their candour obligations to the court, meaning that they did not tell the truth to Canadians under oath.
According to Justice O’Reilly’s decision released yesterday relating to the Awso Peshdary case, CSIS illegally gathered intelligence and then withheld evidence that would have assisted the accused on their case.
Justice O’Reilly’s decision ...

NCCM Demands Immediate Action from the PDSB
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is demanding that the PDSB Chair, Brad MacDonald and Director of Education, Peter Joshua immediately resign given the conclusions reached in the report from Arlene Huggins.
Huggins, in her report, wrote that the school board and director's office is "lacking both the ability and capacity, and perhaps even more importantly, the will” to address systemic racism and anti-black racism in PDSB. Huggins further noted that non-compliance with the recommendations made in the report from PDSB is “probable”.
That’s ...

Published in the Toronto Star on May 7, 2020.
By Mustafa Farooq, NCCM CEO
“Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.”
The delivery room at the Grey Nuns Hospital in Edmonton is dark, but on May 5, 2015, at 6 a.m., I was jumping up and down as my newborn son came into the world.
The Muslim tradition is to whisper the call to prayer — the adhaan — in the ear of the newborn child after birth; but I was so filled with adrenalin in the moment, that I began to loudly chant the call to prayer even as I held him in my arms for the first time.
Five years on, almost to the day, ...
Protecting Our Charitable Institutions
We at the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) have seen firsthand how Canadian Muslim charities have risen to the challenge of providing support services to the elderly, the impoverished, the unwell, and to those seeking shelter.
We know that at this time our charitable institutions are most at risk. Mosques and aid organizations across Canada that support the most vulnerable are facing challenges on both ends. On one end, they aren’t able to host fundraising events and have had to close their physical spaces. On the other end, the demand on their ...
