Yousafzai: Cabinet Ministers and Parliament Hill

yousafzai: But it was during an eloquent, touching and thoughtful speech to a joint session of Parliament that the 19-year-old Yousafzai known to all and sundry these days simply as Malala very nearly brought down the house, according to Hamilton Spectator. She took the podium to the first of several sustained, thunderous ovations, acknowledging the fact that her initial trip to Canada in 2014 was essentially cancelled by a gunman's rampage through the very building where she now stood. Yousafzai received the honour during a long-awaited and anticipated ceremony on Parliament Hill alongside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, before an audience of dignitaries, MPs, cabinet ministers and diplomats. The man who attacked Parliament Hill called himself a Muslim but he did not share my faith. He did not share our Islam a religion of learning, compassion and mercy, she said. He did not share the faith of one and a half billion Muslims, living in peace around the world. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
