Muslim Association Addresses Antisemitic Incident at Youth Event

Key takeaways

  • Muslim Association condemns antisemitic phrase
  • Incident was preventable due to lack of screening controls
  • MAC commits to preventing similar incidents in the future

The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) has issued a statement addressing an incident that occurred during its Toronto convention in May, where the phrase 'Jew free' was displayed on a screen. MAC condemned the phrase as offensive and against Islamic teachings, stating it did not represent their values or those taught at the conference. The incident, which originated from an anonymous submission during a youth session, was preventable according to MAC, as controls for screening submissions before public display were not in place. Going forward, MAC will ensure these controls are used and facilitators of youth sessions will receive training to identify and address hate speech. The association is committed to promoting pluralism and inclusivity.
