Minbar Ummah: Statement from the Notables countryside north Idlib regarding Riyadh Conference

In the past few months, we have seen a sharp increase in attacks against Islam and Muslim women in particular. Verbal abuse, hijabs pulled off, death threats and even physical assaults; these are just a few of the barrage of crimes perpetrated on our fellow Muslim sisters throughout the country. Indeed, they are singled out by the Islamophobic hysteria that is sweeping through the country. All this simply for adhering to their Deen of Islam by wearing the hijab. For example, six Muslim sisters at McMaster University were forced to move out of their home after they found a knife stuck in a wall of their home. This was after a sister – born in Canada – was attacked by two men after picking up her children from school. She was repeatedly kicked in the stomach, punched in her face, while being called a ‘terrorist’ and told to 'go back to her country.'
