Canadisk skole AFLYSER foredrag med ISIS overleveren Nadia Murad fordi hendes frygtelige beskrivelser af tortur og voldtægt ‘ville være fornærmende overfor muslimer og medføre islamofobi’

• The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is not allowing its students to attend a book club meeting featuring author Nadia Murad
• Murad’s book details how she escaped the Islamic State, where she was ripped from her home and sold into sexual slavery aged just 14 years old
• The superintendent Helen Fisher said Muslim students would be offended and the book ‘promotes Islamophobia’
• Book club founder and TDSB parent Tanya Lee said the book ‘has nothing to do with ordinary Muslims. (TDSB) should be aware of the difference’
• The Board later issued an apology but still won’t let the students attend the event

A Canadian school has cancelled an event with ISIS survivor Nadia Murad, saying her visit would be offensive to Muslims and foster ‘Islamophobia’.

Murad was scheduled to sit down with students from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) – the largest school Board in Canada with nearly 600 schools – to discuss her book The Last Girl: My Story Of Captivity in February 2022. 

Murad’s graphic exposé detailed how she escaped the Islamic State, where she was ripped from her home and sold into sexual slavery aged just 14 years old, according to The Telegraph. 

She uses the book to talk about how she was raped and tortured before finding her way to a refugee camp in Durhok, in northern Iraq, and then to Germany where she now lives. 

Murad is a leading advocate for survivors of genocide and sexual violence also became a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and UN Goodwill Ambassador.
