Ontario regional police forces investigating threatening email sent to Muslim schools across Canada
Police say 9 Muslim Association of Canada schools were placed on high alert after the email threatened to kill and deport Muslims.
- Nine schools operated by the Muslim Association of Canada are on high alert after receiving an anonymous, violent email this week. Spokesperson Nabil Sultan said the organization has never experienced a single note targeting so many schools simultaneously.
- Sent last Sunday by a party identifying themselves as 'Jehu, Citizen Vigilante', the email threatened the 'slaughter' of Muslims and vowed Canada will be 'Islam free' while referencing the upcoming Alberta referendum.
- Police forces in Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec are investigating, with the London Police Service, Peel Regional Police, and Ottawa Police Service increasing overnight patrols and security presence near schools and mosques.
- Parents like Sara Omar report feeling 'scared and vulnerable' as students walk past security officers, with families questioning whether they belong in the community due to the explicitly violent language.
- Statistics Canada reported police-documented hate crimes against Muslims rose over 170 per cent between 2020 and 2024, highlighting the broader environment of Islamophobia fueling such threats against Canadian Muslim communities.
