Nine Islamic schools run by the Muslim Association of Canada are placed on high alert after receiving an email that threatens violence against Muslims, including language describing a “slaughter.” The Muslim Association of Canada says the warning was delivered to schools over a short period this week.
The association says the same anonymous email is sent to multiple schools across provinces, including Ontario, British Columbia, and Quebec, within roughly 24 hours. Local police forces are involved, according to reporting from CityNews Toronto, though details of any charges or specific investigative steps are not provided in the available accounts.
Across the outlets, the core focus remains on the threat and the response by the schools and authorities. Global News and Winnipeg Free Press both frame the event around the number of schools affected and the nature of the threat, while CityNews Toronto adds provincial scope and notes that policing agencies are notified or engaged.
