Toronto Mosque Target of Arson Attack
Fire truck headed to the fire scene
Toronto - Arab Today
A mosque in Toronto has been targeted by an arson attack. Just after 11p.m. Tuesday night, Toronto police were called to the Reign of Islamic Da’Wah Islamic Information Centre on Weston Road in Toronto, to investigate a suspicious fire on the building’s roof.
According to CBC News, flames were visible on the roof and the smell of burning plastic could be detected when police arrived at the scene. Three fire trucks were dispatched to deal with the situation.
Police and fire officials have determined that the cause of the fire was a small gas can, prompting an arson investigation into the incident.
There were no injuries reported and it remains unclear if anyone was in the building when the fire broke out.
Presumably, if arson is proven, which is appearing likely, the investigation will then move to discover a motive behind the deliberate setting of the fire to determine if the incident will need to be treated as a hate crime.

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
