MCP Statement on Video Targeting Students in Schools
The Muslim Council of Peel is appalled at the video circulating which is targeting students. This is creating a climate of fear and mistrust amongst children and youth in schools...
Given the rise of Islamophobia and hate crimes targeting the Muslim community, it is important that event organizers be prepared to respond effectively to potential threats or disruptions. This tip sheet has been produced to help Muslim Council of Peel member organizations hosting events in the current climate consider security and safety in Islamic centres, schools, banquet halls, community centres and other public venues. It is also a helpful tool for any event organizer tackling a topic which may attract protests or disruptions from individuals motivated by anti-Semitism, Islamophobia or any other form of xenophobia.
