Muslim community in Trois-Rivières threatened after Eid gathering

The Canadian Muslim Forum is calling for an investigation after members of the Muslim community in Trois-Rivières were targeted by violent threats and hateful rhetoric following a private Eid Al-Adha prayer gathering.

The organization says the gathering itself was peaceful and lawful. But some of the subsequent online reactions included references to past acts of violence in Quebec and threats directed at Muslim residents. The forum is urging authorities to investigate and take the threats seriously.

This follows a broader pattern of tensions around religious gatherings in Quebec. The forum's call for investigation underscores how quickly peaceful community events can trigger hostile online responses — and how communities need real protection when they gather to observe their faith.
