Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahu Wa Barakatuhu.
This Thursday marks the third anniversary of an Islamophobic terrorist attack in which four members of a multi-generational Muslim family were killed as they were strolling in their London Ontario neighborhood. On June 6, 2021, the driver of a truck intentionally hit them out of his hatred against Muslims. The youngest member of the family survived with some injuries, but has been left with lifelong trauma of losing his parents, grandmother and sister.
As we remember and pray for our London family and all other victims of anti-Muslim hatred, we reiterate our commitment to stand against Islamophobia. We will continue urging fellow Canadians and politicians to work with us against this increasingly alarming problem with due seriousness and commitment.
Jazakumullahu Khairan,
MANAL Executive Committee
