Islamophobic Hate Crimes After ISIS Paris Attack
From Mostafa Higazi's FB:
Brothers and sisters, #Islamophobia is on the rise and higher than ever. This is a great time for giving Dawah by educating people about Islam and helping to clear misconceptions. But just as important, safeguard your family and property from any danger and if you sense any threat towards yourself or any Muslim, contact your local authorities.
Here are a few known recent attacks and threats against Muslims in the West:
1) Man in Montreal publishes a video on YouTube and threatens the death of one Arab per week in the province:

Alhamdulilah some of these suspects were caught and are currently facing criminal charges. Please play a role by educating your community about Islam. Also help to protect the Muslims in your community and keep an eye out for threats against Muslims.
