“It feels like 9/11 all over again.” Manitoba Muslims share how they are coping with the war in Gaza

 

“It feels like 9/11 all over again.” That’s what Natasha Ali, the Muslim spiritual care provider at the University of Manitoba, said about the effect of the war in Gaza on Muslims in the province. 

“Many Muslims feel the underlying message in the media is that we are all terrorists, a danger to society,” she said. 

I reached out to members of the Winnipeg Muslim community to ask how they and others are coping with the war in Gaza emotionally, psychologically and spiritually — and how the community is helping them deal with the situation. 

Read their responses in my Free Press article.
