Hate crimes against Muslims growing concern in Canada

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Canadian authorities say hate crimes targeting Muslims in Canada have more than tripled since 2012.

Canadians are coming together this weekend to commemorate the anniversary of the Quebec City mosque shooting.

Six worshippers were killed and 19 injured when a gunman opened fire in the Islamic cultural centre a year ago.

Canadian authorities say - hate crimes targeting Muslims in Canada have more than tripled since 2012, and in December, the Canadian government listed right-wing extremism as a "growing concern".
