You are strong enough : Muslim women offered self defence classes in wake of attacks

  EDMONTON There’s a sense of fear in Edmonton’s Muslim community after several attacks on Black Muslim women in recent weeks. “It’s been a trend where we’ve seen five in a span of weeks so the community came together and felt that action needed to be taken,” said Noor Al-Henedy, the communications and public relations director for Al Rashid Mosque. “It is really in a way taking a stand and saying we will not tolerate the abuse that our women are going through,” she said. “It’s not right.” She said they were given permission from Alberta Health but must keep class sizes to a maximum of 25 people and follow other public health guidelines.

Self-defence class organized after attacks against Edmonton Muslim women

The four weekly classes, which began Feb. 21, each host around 24 people after organizers got the go-ahead from provincial health officials, said Noor Al-Henedy, director of communications at Al-Rashid Mosque.  They sold out within hours, she said, with requests to add at least six more classes. It s a sign, she says, of widespread concern among the city s Muslim community.  When we look at the bigger picture, there s a huge education piece that needs to be done. Our city has to come together, our province, our country, to fight Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, hatred and racism,  Al-Henedy said.  You are very strong   The recent spate of daytime attacks against Muslim women wearing headscarves dates back to December. A mother and a daughter were assaulted in the parking lot of Southgate Centre on Dec. 8.
