Rising Islamophobic incidents against Muslim women demand Canadian immigration policy reforms

Recent attacks on visibly Muslim women across Canada highlight an alarming 1,800% surge in Islamophobic incidents reported to the National Council of Canadian Muslims. Following a disturbing assault at an Oshawa pizza shop where a Muslim woman's hijab was forcibly removed, experts and advocates emphasize that immigration policies must better protect religious minorities. While some officials have condemned these attacks, inconsistent responses from leadership reveal concerning double standards. As Canada strives to maintain its reputation as a multicultural haven, addressing hate crimes against Muslim immigrants and citizens must become a priority in both law enforcement and policy frameworks.
