The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) has released a statement condemning Israelβs closure of Masjid Al-Aqsa in occupied Jerusalem and the ongoing restrictions preventing Muslim worshippers from accessing this sacred site.
MAC is calling on the Government of Canada to take a clear and principled stance in support of religious freedom and the protection of Masjid Al-Aqsa. The statement also raises concern over recent actions that threaten the sanctity of the site.
Masjid Al-Aqsa holds a sacred place in the hearts of Muslims worldwide, and ensuring access to places of worship remains a fundamental pillar of religious freedom and human dignity.
