Moderate Muslims and Syrian Refugees

Muslim Canadians: I am talking about two groups - Muslim Canadians and the Syrian refugees who are wandering in search of a better home in which to raise their families, according to Rabble. The first group is composed of moderate Muslims, the ones who live among us, our neighbours, our friends, our students, our co-workers, our allies. Even in the aftermath of the absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking events in Paris last week, I feel a sense of responsibility to say something on behalf of the Muslim people who have nothing to do with the violent extremists. And they represent virtually all Muslims living here in Canada. Neither group should be associated with the fanatics who unleashed the terrorist acts on Paris last week. The second group is also composed of moderate Muslims, forced to flee their war-torn country in seriously dire straights. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
