Tonight a young boy lays alone in the hospital, his family murdered before his eyes. My heart is shattered for his lost innocence and life forever changed.

Canada’s Muslim communities have faced suspicion and unfair rhetoric over the years and addressing the poison of Islamophobia is a moral imperative; doing so will also help to address other forms of bias & hate targeting far too many minority communities. #OurLondonFamily
