NEW OP-ED: This Ramadan, Islamophobic incidents have been on the rise.
NCCM Writer Steven Zhou notes that this is a reminder that,
"The response needs to be solidarity from all Canadians to stop repeated cycles of violence.
"We all need to commit to rooting out Islamophobia and hate in our society."

Attacks on our mosques have increased this Ramadan.
“A large number of people are afraid and just tired of having to look over their shoulders all the time,"
said NCCM spokesperson Steven Zhou.
"These are very surreal conversations."
Islamophobia may be on the rise but we will not be intimidated.
It's time to unite.
It's time to pave a Path to Justice.
Stand with us.

It's incredibly sad that our community continues to face violent Islamophobic acts during what many experience as a most sacred time.
What happened in Markham could've been even worse.
But hate must be fought with unified resolve.
York Regional Police continues its investigation into the attack and unearths more details.
