蒙特利尔警方表示，本月初，一名优步司机在乘车途中遭到一名乘客持刀威胁，警方已介入调查。加拿大穆斯林全国委员会表示，这起事件引发了人们对仇视伊斯兰教暴力事件日益增多的担忧。
警方称，事件发生在12月6日晚上11点45分左右。事发地点位于蒙特利尔维尔玛丽区维多利亚广场和圣安托万西街附近。一名39岁的司机报案称，他遭到两名乘客中一人的言语攻击，对方一度亮出利器。
警方称，双方发生争执后，司机停车，两名乘客下车。
司机随后前往警局报案。蒙特利尔警方表示，由于司机遭到针对其姓名的威胁，此案已移交仇恨犯罪部门。目前尚未有人被捕，调查仍在进行中。
警方表示，他们正在寻找嫌疑人和一名目击者，目前尚不清楚两人是否相识。
“全国仇恨犯罪案件激增”：加拿大全国穆斯林理事会
加拿大全国穆斯林理事会（NCCM）在一份新闻稿中表示，嫌疑人要求司机表明自己的信仰，并威胁说：“我要割断你的喉咙。”
加拿大国家犯罪监测中心（NCCM）表示，嫌疑人随后拔出刀具，但由于另一名乘客的介入，潜在的袭击得以避免。
NCCM首席执行官斯蒂芬·布朗在周二晚间的采访中表示，这名司机曾向该机构寻求帮助以处理此案，并称他因这次袭击而受到惊吓，目前不愿接受媒体采访。
优步发言人加布里埃拉·康达科-奎萨达在给加拿大广播公司（CBC）的一份声明中表示，根据优步掌握的信息，包括视频录像，公司已取消了该乘客的平台访问权限。
“我们已与该司机取得联系，并随时准备协助执法部门，”康达科-奎萨达写道。“安全是我们的首要任务，我们绝不容忍任何暴力威胁。”
优步补充说，其应用程序提供录音功能，允许乘客和司机在行程中录制音频。只有优步才能访问录音，前提是乘客或司机报告了安全事件并选择与公司分享。
此外，还有一个“跟随我的行程”功能，司机可以使用该功能与亲友实时分享行程路线。

布朗表示，这起事件凸显了穆斯林，尤其是佩戴头巾的女性，在魁北克省乃至整个加拿大面临的日益严重的暴力问题。
“我们看到全国各地的仇恨犯罪都在增加，”布朗说道，并补充说，在魁北克省，这种增长似乎与公众舆论相呼应。“目前，社会上存在着很多紧张局势。”
今年8月，约克大学伊斯兰恐惧症研究中心发布了一份报告，呼吁加拿大各级政府加强对大学、学校、警察部队和议会如何应对近期反阿拉伯和反巴勒斯坦种族主义事件激增的监督。
魁北克省新世俗主义法案针对托儿所工作人员、祈祷场所和宗教餐食
在魁北克省，布朗指出，省政府近期力推第9号法案，该法案拟扩大现有的世俗主义规定，将宗教标志禁令扩展至接受补贴的托儿所工作人员，限制公共机构的祈祷场所，并禁止在公共场所进行集体祈祷。
政府称该法案强化了国家宗教中立原则，而批评者则认为该法案将对宗教少数群体造成不成比例的影响。
领导人被敦促谴责所谓的袭击事件
布朗表示：“人们都在谈论必须保护社会免受极端伊斯兰主义者的侵害，但却很少采取措施来区分那些只想过正常生活的普通穆斯林和少数做出不可接受行为的人。”
布朗指出，政府限制公共祈祷和佩戴面纱的措施模糊了公众对极端主义和和平践行伊斯兰教之间的界限。
穆斯林维权组织在下议院委员会面前猛烈抨击魁北克世俗主义法案
“当人们无法区分激进伊斯兰分子和优步司机时，就会发生这种事，”他说道，并敦促政界人士和公众领袖公开表态。
“魁北克省的任何人都不应该因为自己的宗教信仰而感到生命受到威胁，”全国穆斯林委员会（NCCM）在新闻稿中表示。“我们呼吁魁北克省的政界人士和领导人对此予以强烈谴责。”
警方表示，将严厉谴责这种仇视伊斯兰教的行为，并采取切实措施缓和全省的紧张局势。
蒙特利尔警方称，在调查进行期间，他们将与肇事司机保持联系。
Muslim council sounds alarm after alleged Islamophobic attack on Montreal Uber driver
Hate crime unit investigating after passenger allegedly threatened driver with knife

Montreal police say their hate crimes unit is investigating after an Uber driver reported being threatened by a passenger with an edged weapon during a ride earlier this month, an incident the National Council of Canadian Muslims says has raised concerns about increasing Islamophobic violence.
Police say the incident happened Dec. 6 around 11:45 p.m. ET near Victoria Square and Saint-Antoine Street West in the Ville-Marie borough. A 39-year-old driver reported being verbally confronted by one of two passengers and at one point an edged weapon was shown.
After an exchange, the driver stopped the vehicle and the two passengers got out, police said.
The driver later went to a police station to report the incident. Montreal police say the file was transferred to the hate crimes unit due to threats that targeted the driver’s name. No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
Police say both the suspect and a witness are being sought, and it is unclear whether they know each other.
'Rise in hate crimes across the country': NCCM
In a news release, the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) said the suspect demanded the driver disclose his faith before threatening him, saying, “I’m going to slit your throat.”
The suspect then pulled out a knife, but the potential attack was averted because the other passenger intervened, the NCCM said.
In an interview Tuesday evening, NCCM CEO Stephen Brown said the driver came to the organization for assistance in navigating the case, saying he was shaken by the attack and is unwilling to speak to the media at this point.
In a statement to CBC, Uber spokesperson Gabriela Condarco-Quesada said the company has removed the rider's access to the platform based on the information available to Uber, including video footage.
"We are in touch with the driver and stand ready to assist law enforcement," wrote Condarco-Quesada. "Safety is our top priority, and threats of violence will not be tolerated."
Uber added that an audio recording feature, which enables riders and drivers to record audio during a trip, is available on the app. Only Uber can access the recording if the rider or driver reports a safety incident and chooses to share it with the company.
There is also a 'Follow My Ride' feature that drivers can use to share their trip route in real time with their loved ones.

Brown said the incident highlights the increasing violence that Muslims, especially women who wear a hijab, face in Quebec and across Canada.
“We’re seeing the rise in hate crimes across the country,” said Brown, adding that in Quebec the rise appears to mirror public discourse. “Right now, there’s a lot of tension in society.”
In August, the Islamophobia Research Hub at York University released a report calling on governments across Canada to increase oversight on how universities, schools, police forces and Parliament are dealing with a recent spike in instances of anti-Arab and anti-Palestinian racism.
In Quebec, Brown pointed to the provincial government’s recent push of Bill 9, a proposed law that would expand existing secularism rules by extending bans on religious symbols to subsidized daycare workers, limiting prayer spaces in public institutions and restricting group prayers in public spaces.
The government says the bill reinforces state religious neutrality, while critics argue it would disproportionately affect religious minorities.
Leaders urged to condemn alleged attack
“There’s a lot of talk about having to protect society from radical Islamists, but very little is done to differentiate between average, everyday Muslims who are just trying to live their lives and the handful of people doing unacceptable things,” said Brown.
Brown said government measures restricting public prayer and the wearing of veils blur the line for the public between extremism and the peaceful practice of Islam.
“When people aren’t able to differentiate between radical Islamists and an Uber driver, this is the kind of thing that happens,” he said, urging politicians and public leaders to speak out.
“No one in Quebec should fear for their life because of their religion,” the NCCM said in the news release. “We call on Quebec politicians and leaders to strongly condemn this Islamophobic act and take concrete measures to reduce tensions across the province.”
Montreal police say they are staying in touch with the driver as the investigation continues.
