The 40th World Religions Conference, hosted by Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at Canada, was held at the Baitul Kareem Mosque in Cambridge, however the audience tuned in virtually.
CAMBRIDGE After charges were laid in connection with a vandalism incident at a Cambridge mosque, the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) now says there s no evidence the act was a hate crime. On Saturday, police announced charges against a 35-year-old Cambridge man, including break and enter, property damage over $5,000, possession of stolen property as well as Controlled Drug and Substances Act offences. But on Sunday, a spokesperson for WRPS said the incident isn t being deemed a hate crime. The evidence does not support the inference that the crime was motivated by racial or religious hatred, the spokesperson said in an email.
