Winnipeg Rahma Islamic Centre attacked in suspected hate crime
A suspected hate‑motivated attack on the Rahma Islamic Centre in Winnipeg on the night of 30 July 2026 damaged multiple windows and caused roughly C$3,000 (US$2,140) in property loss. Police say a vehicle drove past the mosque, possibly firing a gun toward the building, and later two suspects on foot broke additional windows with an unknown object. No one was injured.
Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the incident as an "appalling" act of Islamophobia and pledged full police support. Imam Feisal Adem said the community’s sense of safety was "deeply shaken," while Culture Minister Nellie Kennedy announced provincial coverage of repair costs. Winnipeg Police Service has classified the case as a potential hate crime, launched a major‑crime investigation, and announced increased patrols around the centre and other local mosques.
