I understand the Olympic Torch in Jack Poole Square will be lit tonight to symbolize support and solidarity for everything that’s happened these past six days.
InshAllah, God-Alone Willing, you may make it out tonight.
Comments Off on 30 MORE | VIDEO – Under Attack: The Quebec Mosque Shooting – CBC News – The Fifth Estate – Quebec City
Fifth Estate host Mark Kelley stops by CBC News Network to talk about their documentary Under Attack which tells the story of the Quebec City mosque shooting that has shocked a nation.
On January 29, 2017, a young man in Quebec enters a mosque and fires his rifle into the crowd – killing six worshipers.
On the same weekend, tens of thousands gather across North America to protest what they see as President Trump’s discriminatory bans on Muslim immigrants and refugees.
Do these events point to a more fearful future?
Do they suggest more dangerous and precarious times ahead for Muslims in North America?
The fifth estate searches for answers in Canada and the US.
Mark Kelley is in Quebec City, to tell the story on the mosque shooting that has shocked a nation.
I anticipated today’s Khutbah would include Québec, he confirmed it would….
He provided a Big Picture, Civilizational Perspective, on Sunday Night’s events in Sainte-Foy/Québec City, and reflected upon Canada’s reaction and Canadians’ response.
His words were exactly the medicine I needed to feel better today; to heal better today.

I also stepped up and shared a few words about my 30 Masjids visit this past Ramadan to the Islamic Centre of Québec. But I did not record myself, so that’s missing from the video.
Standing for a moment before I spoke, looking out into the night, I saw a sea of people. The sea had spilled out onto West 8th Avenue itself. So many Vancouverites had turned out.
I honestly expected maybe two dozen people at most who might come out. As you can see in the almost 52 minute video, many dozens more actually did.
We were all Canadians. We were all affected by the events in Sainte Foy, Québec.
For whatever comes next, we know we Canadians are all in this together.

Muslims in Manitoba are shocked and saddened by the mosque shooting which took place in Quebec City last night. According to media reports, gunmen opened fire at the Quebec Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City during evening prayers and killed at least 6 worshippers and injured many.
Special prayers for the deceased will be held in the Manitoba Grand Mosque today Monday January 30, 2017 at 8:00 PM. The prayers are open to all.
“We respond to this tragedy with prayers for the victims and for Quebec City and for Canada to remain a safe haven for people of all faiths and background”, said Osaed Khan, president of the Manitoba Islamic Association. “Places of worship should be peaceful refuge for all, regardless of religion”, Khan added.
“We do not want to jump to conclusions until all the facts are known, but having this happen at this time leaves us on edge”, said Khan.”
