Flag of Quebec

Québec Identitaire (English: Quebec Identity) is a Quebec based protest group espousing that people that follow Islam should leave Canada.[1][2] In November 2014, the group vandalized several mosques in Quebec and left paper leaflets, which state in Quebec FrenchIslam hors de chez moi” (English: "Islam out of my country").[1]

These incidents came shortly after the two attacks by Islamic terrorists that lead to the deaths of two Canadian Armed Forces members, the 2014 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ramming attack; and the 2014 shootings at Parliament Hill, Ottawa.

Response

On November 12, 2014, Quebec Liberal Party Immigration Minister Kathleen Weil stated, “It’s important for us as a government to condemn these acts...I had the opportunity to say to some international news reporters that it really doesn’t reflect Quebec society. It reflects terribly on us from the outside. We are a tolerant society, inclusive and open to diversity.”[3]
