The mother of one of my children’s classmates of Pakistani origin asked me why my kids sang the Canadian national anthem when it is haram, forbidden,” Raza wrote. “Upon asking where she got that information, she confessed that the imam of the local mosque had told the congregation that it was against the faith to sing the national anthem, or, indeed, to show loyalty to Canada.” Raza said she also found evidence that more mosques were giving sermons against loyalty to Canada.

Raza and her colleagues flew to Washington, D.C. after the San Bernardino shootings last week and nailed a “Declaration of Muslim Reform” on the biggest mosque in the district—saying the time has come for moderate or secular Muslims to speak up and no one in the U.S. is doing it right.

“This is the tipping point,” Raza said. “Moderate Muslims have to speak up. This fundamentalism and extremism is not Islam. We have to name it and shame it. It’s up to the Muslims to do it.”

And in Canada, it would seem, that need is especially urgent.
