(Edmonton – January 8, 2021)
Two Muslim Canadian organizations have received funding from the Inspirit Foundation to help address Islamophobia.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) and the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council (AMPAC) have issued press releases in response to the alleged arson at the Islamic Society of Edson, that took place late in the evening on Saturday, June 16.
Muslim Link would also like to thank the many people who have been sending messages through our website to the Islamic Society of Edson, expressing their support for Muslims in the community.
Mona Ismaeil is the owner of Modern Hejab, an online hijab store, and blogs at My Modern Hijab. She is also the director of External Affairs for the Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council (AMPAC) in Edmonton, Alberta.
Muslim Link interviewed Mona about her experiences being a blogger focused on life as a woman who wears hijab.
