For our first episode back from the break, we spoke with Rana Salah & Dania, two Muslim activists based in Montreal. We talked about the political context that’s led to an increase in attacks against Muslims in Quebec, culminating in the recent murder of six Muslims by a white supremacist at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec.
The names of the men were: Azzeddine Soufiane (57), Khaled Belkacemi (60), Aboubaker Thabti (44), Abdelkrim Hassane (41), Ibrahima Barry (39), and Mamadou Tanou Barry (42).
