Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you very much to all the witnesses.
The testimony you have provided has been very powerful. I know it wasn't easy, but I think you have all established that Islamophobia, regrettably, is alive and well and that as a country, we should be doing much better to combat Islamophobia, much as we do with other hate crimes.
I will start off with Dr. Islam.
Mr. Fortin started off with a question about whether there are commonalities between Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. The reason is that he was wondering whether we could use the same tools for combatting Islamophobia. Obviously, both of them are disconcerting.
You had the opportunity to say that in certain respects, there were overlaps between the two. However, I suspect you also wanted to elaborate on what the particularities of Islamophobia are and why that's significant. Am I correct in my assessment, and would you care to elaborate on that point?
