Ubaydah Abu-Usayd

Soumaya, a practicing Muslim, is fired one day without explanation or warning. Later that night, she sees on TV that news outlets are linking her to jihadist circles.

On January 29, 2017, a lone gunman entered a mosque in Quebec City, took the lives of six people, injured 19 others and left an entire community in complete shock and grief. This act of hatred, fuelled by racism and Islamophobia, transformed a place of worship and community to a site of unthinkable trauma, devastating Muslim communities the world over and forcing Canadians to question how we got here in the first place.
