Islamophobia and attacks on Muslims are on rise, but these acts aren’t considered as terrorism or extremism.
Most heartbreaking picture I've seen today.
Seems a regular happy family? Yes, they were, until a racist terrorist Nathaniel Veltman (20) who rammed his truck into them and the family of 5 was crushed .
Everyone died except the 9 year old boy who is in critical condition. He is an orphan now.
Victims are:
Family of London attack victims has allowed us to share names:
• Salman Afzaal, 46 physiotherapist
• Madiha Salman, 44 PhD student in Civil engineering
• Yumna Salman, 15, grade 9 student
• Fayez Salman, 9
• Grandmother, 74, family 'pillar'
This horrific attack took place in London, Ontario.
Their fault? Their religion and background. Authority said the reason behind the attack was their religion.
Unfortunately, media isn’t calling it what it is. They are calling it hate crime and racism. But this is an act of terrorism.
Austrian govt released a new "Islam map" showing the location of mosques & Muslim associations around the country last month.
The result was astonishing!
“Attacks against Muslims rose after this incident. Ugly signs were hung on our mosques," said Ümit Vural, president of the Islamic Religious Community in Austria (IGGO).
Vienna's recent steps to contain so-called "political Islam" put roughly 800,000 Muslims in danger, experts say, adding that the corresponding map reveals controversial data such as names and locations of mosques, triggering new violence on the country's minority.
The world is full of hate. It needs to end. Our lives should be without fear of hate, fear of being killed.
The words “Terrorism “ and “ Extremism “ shouldn’t be allotted for a specific religion.
