Canadian school CANCELS event with ISIS survivor Nadia Murad because her harrowing description of torture and rape 'would be offensive to Muslims and foster Islamophobia'
  • The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is not allowing its students to attend a book club meeting featuring author Nadia Murad
    ...Yezidi activist and Nobel laureate...
  • 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'
    Truth or falsity has nothing to do with it, only Moslem feelz.
  • 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
In her book, Murad talks 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.
