In 1938, the first mosque in Canada was built in Edmonton. More than 80 years later, Canada Post has designed a stamp to commemorate the connections between Muslim and Indigenous communities that made this project possible. Since 2016, these references have been incorporated into the Canadian Prayer Rug, which is featured on this stamp issued in the lead-up to Eid al-Fitr.
Three people were wounded in a shooting that occurred during an Eid al-Fitr celebration in Philadelphia. Police arrest five people, stress that the shooting does not appear to be an ideologically driven or targeted attack.
