Mosque: I Work and Anger

mosque: My wife and I work daily with numerous newcomers and dear friends from Syria, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Egypt, Kenya and other troubled places, according to Toronto Star. They enrich our lives, and bring so much vibrant colour to the tapestry that is our community. There is nothing more antiseptic than the power of the sun, and bringing to light such horrible events as you do is so important and helpful to fighting racism. We are welcomed at the mosque and in homes like brothers and sisters. After the dreadful 2017 attack on worshippers at a mosque in Quebec, their reaction was fear, disbelief and deep sadness, but never an expression of anger, which caused me to question my own anger about the event. The love and tolerance of these new Canadians is astounding considering what so many have suffered. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
