something that no community should ever
have to know.
Unspeakable cruelty and violence
perpetrated on those who came together
in friendship and in faith.
We stand with you. We love you, and we support you.
And we will always defend and protect your
right to gather together and pray, today and everyday.
Our responsibility to those
who have died and were injured and our
responsibility to you,
citizens of Quebec, members of the Muslim
community all across Canada, endures.
Muslim Canadians have helped build the
communities we call home, they own
businesses, and create jobs, they teach in
our schools, they care for us when we are sick.
Muslim Canadians are valued members
of every community and wherever they
live they deserve to feel welcomed and
safe. They are home here.
