Thursday marked three years since four members of a London Muslim family were killed, and their young son seriously injured, while out for a walk in the city’s east end.
Thursday marked three years since four members of a London Muslim family — Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna Afzaal and Salman’s 74-year-old mother Talat Afzaal — were killed, and their young son seriously injured, while out for a walk in the city’s east end. The family was deliberately struck while waiting at the intersection of Hyde Park Road and South Carriage Road.
Tobah says while great progress has been made, such as the Thames Valley District School Board’s new anti-Islamophobia strategy, revealed Thursday, more needs to be done when tackling systemic Islamophobia. “The attack really reminded not only Muslims in Canada, but all Canadians, is that being an inclusive country or standing up for human rights … doesn’t happen by accident,” Elghawaby said. “To come together again and recommit our intention to work against these forces that exist to advance and protect those important values that we all care about so deeply.”
