	Research has highlighted concerns regarding the surveillance practices employed by intelligence agencies like CSIS towards Muslim communities in Canada. Reports indicate that many Muslims experience random questioning or visits from CSIS agents without just cause, contributing to a climate of fear and anxiety within these communities. This surveillance often leads to stigmatization and a chilling effect on political activism among Muslims, who may feel discouraged from expressing dissent due to potential repercussions<ref>Nagra, Baljit, and Paula Maurutto. “Anti-Muslim Surveillance: Canadian Muslims’ Experiences with CSIS.” Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, vol. 9, no. 3, July 2023, pp. 311–25.
