Canada holds worst record in G7 for targeted killings of Muslims, MPs told

MPs on a committee investigating Islamophobia and antisemitism heard Thursday that more Muslims have been killed in targeted attacks in Canada in the past seven years than in any other G7 country, The Globe and Mail journal reported yesterday.

According to the source, Islamophobia has increased exponentially in Canada since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war last October.

Earlier this year, a Canadian man who killed four members of a Muslim family was sentenced to life in prison as a judge ruled that his actions amounted to “white nationalist” terrorism.
