The Muslim Association of Canada has released an update following an incident that occurred during its convention in Toronto in May when the phrase “Jew free” was shown on a word-cloud screen of submissions during a seminar session.
“First, MAC wishes to re-iterate that this phrase is offensive and hurtful to Jewish Canadians, to Muslim Canadians, and to anyone committed to a pluralistic society,” MAC says in the August 12 statement, adding that it “is unequivocally against Islamic teachings.”
