The Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council says police will be patrolling outside Edmonton mosques on Friday, following the act of terrorism at two mosques in New Zealand.

An Edmonton mosque said 12 people in need stayed at the place of worship Wednesday night into Thursday morning.

The letter, delivered to Markaz Ul Islam Mosque, urges the mosque to "close down your fake worship house and leave or accept Jesus as your one true God."

For the world's 1.6 billion Muslims, the month of Ramadan means fasting, spiritual reflection, and charitable deeds. And there are special challenges when the holiday falls during the warmer months.

An Edmonton group is exposing the sound of religious intolerance by releasing audio recordings from its hotline, dedicated to reporting Islamophobia.

Volunteers handed out carnations to women wearing hijabs at the University of Alberta LRT Station Wednesday in response to a hate crime there last month.

The Alberta Muslim Public Affairs Council has launched what it is calling the first-ever Islamophobia help hotline in the province.
