Nathan Phillips Square and Hate Crimes

Christmas tree: Khan organized a multi-faith, multicultural gathering in Nathan Phillips Square on Thursday in the wake of recent hate crimes committed against Muslims, following the Paris attacks, according to Toronto Star. This is our opportunity to show that love is what we’re going to respond with, she told the crowd of about 30, huddled in a circle in front of the Christmas tree in front of City Hall. Or, in her words, about spreading joy. Hatred is not an option. Its goal was to rectify misconceptions about Muslims and join different communities in the face of what they say are groups creating divides. The small gathering included members of the Sikh, Jamaican, Muslim and First Nations communities, among others. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
