The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is a Canadian Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization.[1] NCCM was formerly known as the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN).[2][3]

After Hamas launched an unprovoked assault against Israel murdering about 1200 people, the NCCM failed to condemn Hamas and instead put out a statement on X (formerly Twitter) criticizing Israel's response to Hamas' attacks. Shortly after, the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), a Jewish advocacy organization in Canada, sharply criticized the NCCM on X. In response, the NCCM claimed to be speaking for justice and peace but failed to mention Hamas by name or even acknowledge the terror attacks perpetrated by Hamas against Israel. [4]

The NCCM has continued to harshly criticize Israel, frequently making claims that Israel is committing genocide against Gazans while not once mentioning Hamas' attack on Israel and its continued rocket attacks against civilian targets in Israel. Even after UNWRA staff were found to have directly taken part in the October 7th atrocities against Israeli civilians, the NCCM successfully lobbied the Canadian Government into resuming funding of UNWRA while having not once commented on the links between UNWRA and Hamas within Gaza.[5]

According to 2001 census, there were 579,640 Muslims in Canada, just under 2% of the population.[6] In 2021, the Canadian Muslim population was estimated to be 1.8 million or 4.9% of the population.[7]
