The lethality of anti-Muslim hatred in Canada was highlighted in 2021 when 4 Muslim members of a London, Ontario, family were killed in a devastating act of terrorism on June 6, 2021. This was preceded by the 2017 Québec mosque massacre, in which 6 Muslim worshippers were shot and killed. Alongside outpourings of grief across the country after the London incident, many called for the examination of underlying systems and structures of discrimination that create the context in which Islamophobia manifests. For Canada’s medical community, already grappling with increasing calls to address the adverse consequences of multiple forms of racism, more guidance is needed on how to address the impacts of Islamophobia on patients. Muslim people constitute the second largest faith group in Canada and represent diverse communities. Islamophobia is defined as “social stigma toward Islam and Muslims, dislike of Muslims as a political force, and a distinct construct referring to xenophobia and racism toward Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim.” In recent years, the term has garnered critique as potentially euphemizing the issue of anti-Muslim hatred and racism. However, we use Islamophobia in this article as it is the term used most commonly in health literature.
