Surge in Vandalism and Anti Muslim Rhetoric Prompts Vigilance at Quebec Mosques The recent surge in vandalism and anti Muslim rhetoric targeting mosques in Quebec has left a sense of unease among Muslim communities in the province.
Boufeldja Benabdallah, spokesperson for Quebec City's Islamic Cultural Centre, describes this feeling as "nervousness" – a nervousness that's been building over the past year and a half.
Benabdallah's words are laced with concern, but also a sense of determination to protect his community from what he sees as a growing threat.
