After Hamas launched an unprovoked assault against Israel on 7th October, murdering about 1200 people, in a statement posted to X (formerly Twitter) shortly after on 8th October, the NCCM failed to condemn Hamas by name, instead criticizing Israel's response to Hamas' attacks with a small mention of images of "Israeli civilians". This despite images and videos of atrocities perpetrated and recorded by Hamas themselves having saturated social media and news cycles. Shortly after, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), a Jewish advocacy organization in Canada, sharply criticized the NCCM on X. In response, the NCCM claimed to be speaking for justice and peace but failed to mention Hamas by name or even acknowledge the terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas against Israel.<ref>{{Cite web |date=8 October 2023 |title=CIJA criticizes the NCCM for failing to condemn Hamas |url=https://twitter.com/CIJAinfo/status/1711087341815656507 |access-date=15 April 2024 |website=twitter.com}}</ref> In the face of criticism, the NCCM published a new statement the following day on 9th October, condemning Hamas attacks against Israeli civilians<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCCM condemns Hamas 2 days after Oct 7 attacks. |url=https://twitter.com/nccm/status/1711459194597970419}}</ref>.


== Public advocacy ==
The NCCM has continued to harshly criticize Israel, frequently making claims in statements that Israel is committing genocide against Gazans while making no mention in those statements of Hamas' attack on Israel and its continued rocket attacks against civilian targets in Israel. Even after UNWRA staff were found to have directly taken part in the October 7th atrocities against Israeli civilians leading to the USA and Canada among other nations ceasing funding to UNWRA<ref>{{Cite web |title=UNWRA links to Hamas and ceasing of funding from USA and other countries. |url=https://www.reuters.com/world/us-pause-funding-un-relief-agency-palestinians-may-become-permanent-2024-03-13/}}</ref>, the NCCM successfully lobbied the Canadian Government into resuming funding of UNWRA while having not once commented on the links between UNWRA and Hamas within Gaza.<ref>{{Cite web |title=NCCM - National Council of Canadian Muslims |url=http://www.nccm.ca/palestine-single/ |access-date=2024-04-16 |website=NCCM - National Council of Canadian Muslims |language=en-US}}</ref>

Revision as of 21:51, 13 May 2024

The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is a non-profit Canadian Muslim civil liberties and human rights advocacy organization.[1] The organization was established in 2000 to focus on combatting Islamophobia, hate and racism through legal action, public advocacy, education, and media representation. NCCM's mission is "to protect Canadian human rights and civil liberties, challenge discrimination and Islamophobia, build mutual understanding, and advocate for the public concerns of Canadian Muslims."[2]

Legal cases

NCCM takes on cases of hate and discrimination such as Islamophobic assaults,[3][4][5] vandalism,[6] harrassment,[7] employment discrimination[8], and racial profiling[9]. NCCM also takes on major cases to challenge discriminatory laws and policies such as Quebec's Bill 21[10], the No Fly List,[11] the Safe Third Country Act, and Bill 62.[12] NCCM frequently collaborates with partners such as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association to combat encroachments on civil liberties. NCCM lawyers have appeared in multiple courts including human rights tribunals and the Supreme Court of Canada.[13]

Public advocacy

NCCM engages in lobbying all levels of government to strengthen or enact laws and policies that address Islamophobia in all its forms.[14] After the London Terror Attack in Ontario in 2021 when 4 members of a Muslim family perished in an Islamophobic attack, NCCM submitted 61 recommendations directed at municipal, provincial and federal governments to tackle Islamophobia in their jurisdictions.[15] NCCM has been named as a top lobbying organization in Canada by The Hill Times on multiple occasions.[16]

NCCM has been active on several public policy files including systemic Islamophobia in national security agencies[17], the CRA,[18][19] policing[20], and education[21]. NCCM also advocates on Canadian foreign policy in relation to Islamophobia, including on Canadian positions on multiple issues related to Palestine,[22], Afghanistan,[23], the treatment of Uyghurs in China[24] and the treatment of Muslims and other minorities in India.[25]

Education

NCCM engages in anti-Islamophobia educational work in public schools, educators, corporations, unions and others. In addition, NCCM provides advocacy services to students who face Islamophobic discrimination or hate at school.[26][27]

NCCM has been involved in advocating for anti-Islamophobia strategies at multiple school boards, with the first being passed in the Peel District School Board in Ontario[28] as well as a province-wide strategy in British Columbia.[29]

Media representation

NCCM frequently comments in the media on issues related to Islamophobia and racism, and the organization publishes op-eds in Canadian newspapers on various policy issues.[30][31][32][33][34]

Controversy

NCCM was formerly known as the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) prior to 2013 and was independent of the U.S. organization of a similar name, CAIR[35]. In 2014, the NCCM sued former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his spokesman Jason MacDonald for defamation[36] for alleging that the organization had connections with a terrorist organization because of similar accusations directed at CAIR; however, these accusations were settled in court when Harper's spokesperson admitted that his statements regarding NCCM were wrong.[37] The Government of Canada also issued a statement disavowing MacDonald's inaccurate statement about NCCM.[37]

After the eruption of the events of October 7, 2023 in Israel and Palestine where Hamas attacked and killed Israelis and took hostages and Israel escalated attacks on Palestinian civilians in retaliation, NCCM was accused by pro-Israel lobby groups in Canada of failing to condemn Hamas' attacks.[38] While NCCM condemned Hamas and its actions on October 9, 2023,[39] it has also continued to harshly condemn Israel for its ongoing attacks on Gaza.[40]
