Muslim Communities: Multiculturalism

Community Leaders Dept: In the decade since 9/11, mosques have been assaulted with stones and left to burn across the world and close to home, in Hamilton and Montreal, igniting debate over the concepts of tolerance and limits of multiculturalism. For Muslim communities across Canada and elsewhere, living under the shadow of towers became analogous to living under a microscope. Some community leaders are frustrated that a heinous crime committed by a few has forced an entire faith to defend itself. Others see it as an opportunity for reflection and reinvention.
