- Paying tribute to the unprecedented tragedy in Montreal, a shooting at a Quebec mosque, killing numerous people
- The quick response of political leaders and citizens restored the confidence that we have in the inclusiveness of the society and the respect for diversity.
- Non-Muslim communities also came forward to express their sympathies and support
- This shows that engagement of the Muslim community in Canada with the civic system is helpful and important. We cannot live in isolation; we have to get involved, of course within the perimeters of our shari‘a, in order to find our space in the Canadian system and be recognized as such.
- When a place of worshop is attacked, then it is not only that one community which is attacked – it has an impact for all communities
- In Canada, we have admirable inclusiveness, contrasting the exclusive nature of many Muslim nations, where immigrants aren't treated equally. Be thankful for what we have, but also remember that this can only be sustained if we exercise smart engagement with society
