Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned, yesterday Thursday, an attack on a mosque in the city of Mississauga in Ontario province, which authorities investigated as a hate crime described by human rights defenders as part of the rise of Islamophobia.
Police said a person threw two stones at a mosque window in Mississauga on Sunday, on the eve of the anniversary of an attack on a mosque in the city of Quebec that claimed the lives of six people in 2017, and CBC News reported that no one was injured in the incident.
Trudeau wrote on his X account: "There is no place for Islamophobia in any of our communities."

He continued: "The attack on a mosque in Mississauga earlier this week on the National Day of Remembrance for the Quebec City mosque attack and confronting Islamophobia is cowardly, alarming, and unacceptable, and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms."
The National Council of Canadian Muslims said: "The attack is part of a worrying rise in hatred against Islam across the country."
In November, authorities in Toronto said the number of anti-Semitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes in Canada's largest city had increased significantly since the beginning of the conflict in Gaza.
