On Thursday March 22nd, 2018 around 5:20pm Sandra Solomon came to Masjid Dar-Al Tawheed where she ripped pages of a Quran, and placed them on windshields of congregants while they were praying. In addition, she left hateful literature on cars as well. She then proceeded inside the mosque and verbally abused congregants, after which she was asked to leave. She proceeded to at least two other mosques to do the same thing.
The Muslim Council of Peel and affiliated mosques are working with the police and have asked for this to be investigated as a hate incident.
