Muslims and their Allies to take to the streets to “Spread Joy” on Christmas Eve in Response to Islamophobic Attacks in Toronto
On December 24, 2015 in Toronto, members of the Muslim community and our Allies will be arriving at Nathan Phillips Square at 3pm to “Spread Joy” and participate in the Christmas Spirit in Toronto.
As the Anti-Muslim sentiment continues to surface in Toronto and south of the border, it is time for the entire community to unite and to challenge the stereotypes that exist about Muslims in the world today. We must bring the voices of reason together to show love, respect and solidarity to eliminate anti-Muslim narrative.
The seeds that a Mr. Harper sowed through his politics of division and hatred are starting to show their negative effects. We need to stop this Islamophobic sentiment before we end up seeing even more acts of hate, ignorance and physical harm, as is the case in the US after remarks being made by US Republican Candidate Donald Trump.
So “rather than taking to the streets in an angry protest, we are coming to the streets as generous compassionate Muslims which 99% of us Muslims actually are.” Farheen Khan
This is a collective effort supported by many organizations and communities coming together to show their support and their solidarity as we unite at Nathan Phillips Square to hand out warm scarves tied in holiday bows. We are reclaiming our narrative and our hijabs in doing so.
The event will also include a few speeches given by members of the Muslim community and our allies at 4:30pm. Members of the media are encouraged to attend.
