Chemin Eardley: Hicham Ouhaid

Aylmer Dept: Hicham Ouhaid, president of the Mosque of Aylmer, said he received an email early last Monday urging Muslims to get out of Canada, according to CBC. This is not the first time the Aylmer mosque, located at the corner of Park Street and Chemin Eardley, has been targeted, he added, as a hateful letter was dropped in the mailbox last spring and a second Gatineau, Que., mosque was the target of anti-Muslim slurs last week just hours after vandalism at another mosque. The message, he said, included a photo of a 2010 Time magazine cover depicting a young Afghan woman whose nose and ears were cut off. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
