That’s the conclusion of the CCQ’s report, based on 10 meetings with witnesses from the construction companies involved, and with two mosques in C.D.N. — the Ahl-Ill Bait and the Baitul-Mukarram — as well as with the women allegedly targeted by the unusual, anti-feminist requests.

It was enough for La Meute, the far-right, anti-Muslim group, to cancel its protest planned for Friday outside the mosque on de Courtrai Ave., after days of mounting rhetoric.

“As time passes, the information has become contradictory,” wrote La Meute leader Sylvain (Maikan) Brouillette in a post on the group’s Facebook site just before 6 p.m. Thursday. “Are the parties concerned trying to bury the matter, or was it a lack of communication that caused this dilemma? Right now it’s hard to say.”
