Statement

 

AIJAC is horrified and appalled by the racist terrorist attack against innocent worshippers in the Quebec City Islamic Cultural Centre. Our thoughts are with the families of those so brutally murdered and with the many wounded.

Acts such as these, motivated by unfathomable hatred, are the antithesis of the inclusiveness that contributes so much to the strength of communities such as Canada and Australia. All people of goodwill must condemn this heinous crime, and work to counter and delegitimise the malevolent racism behind such acts.
