Muslims follow dietary laws outlined in Islamic teachings, which include specific methods of animal slaughter. The founder of Islam, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sa), was deeply concerned with the humane treatment of animals. It is recorded that once, the Holy Prophet (sa) saw a crying camel, so he walked up to the camel and consoled it. Then the Holy Prophet (sa) asked whose camel it was, and when a young man stepped forward claiming the camel, the Holy Prophet (sa) said, ‘Don’t you fear Allah about this beast which Allah has given in your possession?

245, created: June 2024, Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle EastWhat are institutional, structural, & systemic anti-Palestinian racism? There is no formalized definition of institutional anti-Palestinian racism (APR), structural APR, or systemic APR. “Individual racism” is racism performed by a single individual, such as a racist police officer doing a card check; “institutional racism” is racism within a single organization such as the Toronto Police department having a policy to conduct card checks; “structural racism” is racism at the level of the criminal-justice system that disproportionately penalizes BIPOC; and lastly, “systemic racism” is at the level of Canadian society overall where we see a society set up to maintain white supremacy and imperialism as a system. The Canadian Federal government does not have an official definition of anti-Palestinian Racism or anti-Arab racism. It is important for the Federal government to recognize and combat systemic anti-Palestinian racism because of the negative impacts it can have on the Palestinian community.

CNN —Hurricane Beryl has strengthened into a Category 5 Atlantic hurricane — the earliest on record — as it powers across the Caribbean after bringing devastation to the Windward Islands, where at least one person is dead. Its intensity also marks just the second time an Atlantic hurricane has reached Category 5 status in July after Emily did so on July 17, 2005, according to the National Hurricane Center. Hurricane Beryl “left in its wake immense destruction, pain, suffering, across our nation at this hour,” he said. The hurricane center also noted large swells from the storm will continue in the Windward and southern Leeward Islands for the next couple of days. The storm’s rapid intensification is very atypical this early into hurricane season, according to National Hurricane Center Director Mike Brennan.
