The Islamic Society of Markham said in a statement an individual had come into the mosque in Markham, Ont., on Thursday and apparently torn a Koran, ranted at worshippers, and then tried to ram them with his vehicle
Trade Minister Mary Ng, MP for the Markham–Thornhill riding, condemned on Saturday a hate crime at mosque saying the incident, which an Islamic society said had apparently involved an attempt to tear a copy of the Muslim holy book, had no place in Canadian society.
“Deeply disturbed to hear of the violent hate crimes and racist behaviour at the Islamic Society of Markham,” Ng said in a post on Twitter. Muslims see any attempt to damage a Koran as blasphemous because they consider the Islamic holy book to be the literal word of God.
