A tragic incident at a Markham hotel left a 54-year-old hospitality worker with severe facial injuries following what is being labeled as an “Islamophobic attack.” The assault occurred after a dispute over a denied credit card payment, escalating into a violent confrontation when the attacker discovered the worker’s Muslim identity. The victim sustained catastrophic injuries, including fractures, shattered teeth, and impaired vision, in an appalling act that has sparked outrage and calls for action against rising Islamophobia in Canada.
