Statement from the Islamic Society of New Brunswick
The Islamic Society of New Brunswick is deeply saddened and outraged by the reported hate-motivated assault on a Muslim woman in Moncton, which occurred in the presence of her 7-year-old son.
No one should ever be targeted because of their faith, and no child should have to witness such a traumatic act against a parent.
This incident raises serious concerns about the rise of Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hate in our province. We call on Premier Susan Holt, Members of Parliament, Members of the Legislative Assembly, municipal leaders, and law enforcement to publicly condemn Islamophobia and take meaningful action to ensure the safety and dignity of all New Brunswickers.
We stand in solidarity with the victim and her family, pray for her complete recovery, and reaffirm our commitment to building communities where everyone can live free from fear, hatred, and discrimination.
There is no place for Islamophobia or hate in New Brunswick.
