Hate Groups Showed Up At Canada’s Oldest Mosque, Reigniting Familiar Fears


Members of far-right hate groups recently entered the Al Rashid Mosque in Edmonton, Canada, and gathered outside to harass worshippers on their way to Friday prayers. The men entered the women’s section of Al Rashid, mosque communications director Noor Al Henedy told HuffPost, despite signs indicating men are prohibited from that area. The two men — who were reportedly members of anti-Muslim groups called the Clann and Canadian Infidels — then joined a number of individuals affiliated with far-right groups outside the mosque, where they confronted worshippers. Founded in 1938, the Al Rashid Mosque is the oldest mosque in Canada and has over 100,000 community members. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network monitors over 130 active hate groups in the country.
