Sadness Over Pittsburgh Synagogue Massacre
Canadians of all faiths are deeply saddened by the loss of life and injuries sustained in the massacre of congregants of the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. CCMW unequivocally condemns this act of violent hatred.
Our sincere sympathies to the families of the deceased and prayers for a full recovery for those injured. We extend our condolences and support to Jewish communities in Pittsburgh and to all American and fellow Canadians of the Jewish faith.
This abhorrent act of violence reminds us that anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and xenophobia can manifest itself in our sanctuaries and places of worship. We must come together and be steadfast in our resolve to stop the hate and seek peace in all our communities.
Sincerely,
The Canadian Council of Muslim Women
