For the third time in October, a neighbourhood with a large Muslim presence received offensive posters against their religion.
The Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council said posters have been distributed in three neighbourhoods.
“This is talking about pedophilia and encouraging rape of children and baby,” a woman who wants to remain nameless in fear of retribution told CTV Edmonton. “Nothing in our religion says to do this.”
Police were unavailable to comment on the posters.
“We call upon City Council, we call upon EPS to treat this like a priority because right now the threat is right at our door step,” Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council spokesperson Augrangzeb Qureshi told CTV Edmonton. “Legitimate action where we can bring this to an end and identify who the people are and obviously bring them to justice, because this hate propaganda has no place in this city.”
