Zool Suleman of MARU was interviewed by reporter Charlie Smith about MARU’s new project, a Canadian, national roundtable on Reporting Islamophobia. Suleman noted, “What we’re trying to do is track the data flows from the time an incident occurs until there is some kind of resolution,” Suleman says. “Our initial focus is municipal policing and K-12 schools because those are two sites at which we have stories of profiling happening and people being very unhappy with the kinds of resolutions they received.

“There is a need for a national conversation that is around data tracking so that we can better deal with incidents of Islamophobia,” he continues. “At the moment, there is no such roundtable to deal with Islamophobia data.”
