The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.
The Canadian government appointed the country’s first-ever Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, after a series of attacks and harassment against Muslims in Canada. For example, in June 2021, four members of a Muslim family were killed when a man ran them over with his truck in London, Ontario. On January 26th, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the appointment of journalist and human rights advocate Amira Elghawaby in the new post. He described Elghawaby’s appointment to the post as “an important step in our fight against Islamophobia and hatred in all its forms.” The Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia is mandated to support Canada’s efforts to fight “Islamophobia” and offer counsel on government programs, legislation, and policies. However her appointment is not without controversy, as the Quebec government asked the federal government to retract its endorsement of Elghawaby, just four days after her appointment. The Quebec government took issue with a column she published in 2019, wherein she condemned the "anti-Muslim sentiment" associated with the passage of Bill 21, a piece of legislation in Quebec that prohibits public servants from donning religious symbols such as hijabs.
