“I have been pretty quiet on social media as of late.
But today I am back, because I am frustrated.
This is the Towfiq Islamic Centre, here in the GTA.
Their masjid was recently vandalized, alongside a scribbled death threat, in Ramadan.
You can see above where it is painted over.
But we can’t keep painting over the problem.
Canada has a problem with hate.
And Canadians can’t keep going to mosques, synagogues, churches and have to deal with this.
Enough is enough.
I’m asking all of you to take some time out of your day to figure out a way that you can stand against hate.
Donate to organizations that are doing good work.
Read more and learn about what best practices are.
Talk to your neighbours.
We have to do more.”
— Mustafa Farooq, Lawyer, Previously CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims
