"Hate is everywhere…
...
What has it come to when one stoops to this level of behaviour?
Embarrassment and disgust come to mind.
What really makes you shake your head is in the image, the attacking woman is wearing a red “Canada” t-shirt.
Is this what we have become?"

"For the second time in a month, London police are investigating an attack with especially ugly overtones, an assault one Muslim community representative calls a hate crime."

"The London assault is one of two high-profile incidents this week that have drawn outrage from the Muslim community. In the other, a pig’s head was left outside a Quebec City mosque Monday.
“We are saddened and disappointed that these sorts of incidents are occurring at all,” Amira Elghawaby, a spokesperson for the National Council of Canadian Muslims, told Global News. “Obviously we would recognize that this is not representative at all of Londoners, or Quebecers, or Canadians overall.”
Elghawaby said her organization tracks hate crimes and hate incidents in Canada, and has seen a rise in reports of people being harassed and victimized based on their religious identity.
London police Const. Sandasha Bough said investigators are still gathering evidence to determine whether the attack “has elements of a hate or bias-motivated offence.”

"The National Council of Canadian Muslims, an Islamic advocacy organization, drafted the charter in response to an increase in the number of hate crimes and incidents targeting Muslims.
Two of the incidents occurred in London. Last month, a Western University student from Iran was punched by two men who called him an Arab and told him to go back to his country.
A few weeks later, a woman wearing a hijab and tending to her four-month-old had her hijab pulled off in a London grocery store while she was repeatedly punched."

"“We don’t have any evidence to show religion or race was the motivation,” said Bough. “It is being treated as an assault but not as a hate crime.”
Not everyone agrees.
“Unfortunately, this is the second time in less than a month that a Londoner has been the victim of such hate,” Eaman Fahmy, of the Muslim Association of Canada, told the London Free Press’s Hala Ghonaim.
Ghonaim reported in May a “Western University student from Iran was punched by two men” who allegedly called him “an Arab and told him to go back to his own country.”
In an exclusive interview, Ghonaim quoted the victim, 25, of the latest attack as saying: “I do worry about the safety of all Muslim women who wear hijab.”
