- In a democratic society, when politicians use race and religion to gain points with the misguided and misgruntled, it is the duty of religious communities to stand up and be the voice of conscience
- The example of President Trump and his travel ban targeting Muslims, and the pushback from various religious organizations
- The example of Canada, where politicians and religious organizations have shown leadership in condemning anti-Muslim rhetoric, and its manifestation in form of attacks on Muslims and their places of worship
- The initiative led by Rabbi Erin Polansky of the Neshamah Synagogue and her congregation called 'Ring of Peace', forming a gathering around places of worship in a show of unity
