STATEMENT FROM DAR AL-TAWHEED ISLAMIC CENTRE AFTER SUBJECTED TO A VIOLENT ATTACK

(Mississauga – March 19, 2022) 

Today at the Fajr (dawn prayer) at the Dar Al-Tawheed Islamic Centre in Mississauga, our congregants were subject to a violent attack. 

An individual came wielding an ax and carrying numerous other sharp-edged weapons, as well as pepper spray. 

Before he could inflict harm on any worshippers, several congregants bravely were able to stop him in his tracks.  

We will be providing further comments as more information becomes available. We urge the Peel Police to continue to investigate all angles. 

Our community will never be broken and we refuse to be intimidated.
