Matched with expressions of grief and anguish, progressives in both Canada and the U.S. are calling on the broader public to stand against Islamophobia after the murder of four members of a Muslim family in London, Ontario on Sunday.
\u201cThe news from London, ON is horrifying\n\nA Muslim family was out for a walk - like many this pandemic\n\nThey were murdered because of their faith\n\nThis is an act of Islamophobia & terror\n\nMore than ever we must stand w/ our Muslim family, friends & neighbours against such vile hate\u201d— Jagmeet Singh (@Jagmeet Singh) 1623101142
\u201cWho can fathom this kind of hate? My heart breaks for the Afzaal family. This is a cruel reminder that anti-Muslim hate is deadly and alive in the West. We must all speak out against it. And prosecute these violent hate crimes against Muslims vigorously.\n\nhttps://t.co/jhIjk9sklw\u201d— Ilhan Omar (@Ilhan Omar) 1623124796
Prime Minister Imran Khan of Pakistan, from which the Afzal family emigrated 14 years ago, also expressed grief and outrage.
"Saddened to learn of the killing of a Muslim Pakistani-origin Canadian family in London, Ontario," Khan said. "This condemnable act of terrorism reveals the growing Islamophobia in Western countries. Islamophobia needs to be countered holistically by the international community."
Others expressed similar sadness and horror.
\u201cAbsolutely gutted. \n\nFour members of a Muslim family, in Ontario, were killed last night when a 20 year old man drove his car into them. They were targeted because of their faith, according to police. \n\nThey're survived by one 9-year-old child.\n\nInnalilahi wa innalilahi raji'un.\u201d— Sana Saeed (@Sana Saeed) 1623096865
