OCASI Statement – Stop Islamophobia, Hate and Terrorism

来源:OCASI   更新:2021-06-28 21:52:41   作者:OCASI

OCASI statement on the attack on a Muslim family in London, Ontario

Toronto / June 8, 2021

 

OCASI is shocked and outraged by the mass murder of a Muslim family in London, Ontario on Sunday June 6, 2021. It was a deliberate act of hate, Islamophobia and terrorism.

 

The Council is deeply grieved and saddened by the tragic loss of four lives of a family who were deliberately targeted because of their Muslim faith. We offer our deepest condolences to their young son who has lost his entire family to this violent attack, and to the families and communities affected.

 

Islamophobia is real, pervasive and deeply entrenched in Canada and has been escalating. But past responses from law enforcement and all orders of government have not been sufficient. We hold our governments and political leaders accountable for their words and actions to counter hate and racism.

 

We are in solidarity with Muslim organizations and faith groups across Canada in their refusal to be intimidated, and their determination to organize and win against hate, Islamophobia and racism.

 

OCASI is committed to our ongoing efforts to counter Islamophobia, hate and racism as a Council and in collaboration with coalitions and networks. We support the ongoing efforts of our member agencies in this work, including the efforts of Council of Agencies Serving South Asians which has convened and led the Anti-hate Community Leaders’ Group. We support the National Council of Canadian MuslimsCanadian Council of Muslim Women and Muslim organizations across Canada in their calls for justice and action.

 

In sorrow and solidarity.
