Muslims in western countries say they face growing racism and discrimination and a number of groups are urging our governments to do something about it.
The University of Alberta is tackling the issue head on, holding a conference this week aimed at xeno-racism and the potential for extremism as a result.
How bad is the problem here? What are the consequences if attitudes don't change? And what can you do to stop it?
Joining us for this conversation is Andy Knight, chair of the department of political science at the University of Alberta.
