Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
The Muslim Association of Canada says nine schools it operates across Canada are on high alert after the schools each received an e-mail this week threatening violence against Muslims.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Spokesperson Nabil Sultan says the same anonymous e-mail was sent to schools in Ontario, B.C. and Quebec over a 24-hour period, and local police forces have been notified.
The email, shared with The Canadian Press and signed by a “Citizen Vigilante,” threatens the “slaughter” of Muslims and vows Canada will be “Islam free.”
Sultan, whose own child attends a MAC school, says he was devastated to read the letter, and that MAC has hired paid security to keep students safe.
Police in Ontario’s Peel region say they’re aware of a letter “containing hate-motivated threats” against Islamic institutions and increased police patrols overnight near mosques and schools, which will continue into the weekend.
