Three years ago,
on January 29,
of 2017,
one of our masajid had to shut its doors,
but not because of a virus, not because of a pandemic,
but rather because of a coward
who went into this Masjid
and killed in a simple sentence,
who were praying,
killing them for no other reason
than because of their fingers. Wanaka moving home Illa Villa Hill, I mean,
the only reason why they had resenting their hearts for them
was because of their email. They believed in a Watson.
And so he killed six Muslims and left dozens injured.
So the courts,
they decided not to give him
a sentence related to terrorism, because they said
that it will be a light sentence for him.
Instead, they gave him 40 years
with the chance for parole after that.
Unfortunately, yesterday
the shocking news came
to us the Muslim community.
The judge reduced his sentences sentence, giving him 25 years
with the chance of parole after that.
And so my dear brothers and sisters,
what does it show us?
It shows us first and foremost
that the justice system
is biased towards Muslims.
This is only one example of many
of how,
when it comes to Muslims,
they lay down severe sentences. But when it comes to those who attack processors, they get off easy.
The second thing that it shows us is that Islamophobia is real.
And it's not something that exists among a few people in society, rare cases, but rather, it is something that runs DD in this society, and is institutionalized at the level of government institutions.
This also shows us
that Muslims are the only ones who can be guilty of terrorism,
whereas others cannot.
This also shows us
that Muslim lives are cheating.
And when it comes to others,
we find a completely different picture.
And finally,
if anything, this is a green light
for others,
to open up our massages, and do this.
It was only a month ago that our Masjid in downtown Toronto was threatened.
With an email where they said we will do the same thing that happened in New Zealand anyway. And one of the things that they said in that email
was that the police will be on our side and we will get away with it easily.
So if this shows us anything, it shows us
that this is a green light to such people.
But we should not despair.
We should not worry. Why?
Because if our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
faced for worse, and they planned for it and threatened to kill him.
And they did what they did
to the companions.
But yes, Allah subhanho wa Taala protected them. Then likewise, Allah subhanho wa Taala who protect us
