00:00:02--> 00:00:03

Three years ago,

00:00:05--> 00:00:07

on January 29,

00:00:09--> 00:00:10

of 2017,

00:00:12--> 00:00:15

one of our masajid had to shut its doors,

00:00:16--> 00:00:22

but not because of a virus, not because of a pandemic,

00:00:24--> 00:00:28

but rather because of a coward

00:00:30--> 00:00:31

who went into this Masjid

00:00:33--> 00:00:35

and killed in a simple sentence,

00:00:36--> 00:00:38

who were praying,

00:00:40--> 00:00:42

killing them for no other reason

00:00:43--> 00:00:50

than because of their fingers. Wanaka moving home Illa Villa Hill, I mean,

00:00:51--> 00:00:54

the only reason why they had resenting their hearts for them

00:00:55--> 00:00:58

was because of their email. They believed in a Watson.

00:01:00--> 00:01:06

And so he killed six Muslims and left dozens injured.

00:01:09--> 00:01:10

So the courts,

00:01:12--> 00:01:14

they decided not to give him

00:01:15--> 00:01:20

a sentence related to terrorism, because they said

00:01:21--> 00:01:25

that it will be a light sentence for him.

00:01:26--> 00:01:29

Instead, they gave him 40 years

00:01:30--> 00:01:33

with the chance for parole after that.

00:01:35--> 00:01:37

Unfortunately, yesterday

00:01:39--> 00:01:41

the shocking news came

00:01:43--> 00:01:44

to us the Muslim community.

00:01:47--> 00:01:53

The judge reduced his sentences sentence, giving him 25 years

00:01:55--> 00:01:56

with the chance of parole after that.

00:01:58--> 00:02:00

And so my dear brothers and sisters,

00:02:02--> 00:02:04

what does it show us?

00:02:06--> 00:02:08

It shows us first and foremost

00:02:10--> 00:02:12

that the justice system

00:02:14--> 00:02:16

is biased towards Muslims.

00:02:17--> 00:02:20

This is only one example of many

00:02:21--> 00:02:22

of how,

00:02:23--> 00:02:26

when it comes to Muslims,

00:02:28--> 00:02:37

they lay down severe sentences. But when it comes to those who attack processors, they get off easy.

00:02:38--> 00:02:43

The second thing that it shows us is that Islamophobia is real.

00:02:45--> 00:03:06

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.

00:03:07--> 00:03:09

This also shows us

00:03:11--> 00:03:16

that Muslims are the only ones who can be guilty of terrorism,

00:03:17--> 00:03:18

whereas others cannot.

00:03:20--> 00:03:21

This also shows us

00:03:23--> 00:03:25

that Muslim lives are cheating.

00:03:27--> 00:03:29

And when it comes to others,

00:03:30--> 00:03:33

we find a completely different picture.

00:03:35--> 00:03:37

And finally,

00:03:38--> 00:03:40

if anything, this is a green light

00:03:41--> 00:03:42

for others,

00:03:44--> 00:03:48

to open up our massages, and do this.

00:03:50--> 00:03:55

It was only a month ago that our Masjid in downtown Toronto was threatened.

00:03:57--> 00:04:06

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

00:04:07--> 00:04:12

was that the police will be on our side and we will get away with it easily.

00:04:14--> 00:04:17

So if this shows us anything, it shows us

00:04:19--> 00:04:22

that this is a green light to such people.

00:04:24--> 00:04:25

But we should not despair.

00:04:27--> 00:04:30

We should not worry. Why?

00:04:32--> 00:04:35

Because if our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam

00:04:36--> 00:04:42

faced for worse, and they planned for it and threatened to kill him.

00:04:43--> 00:04:45

And they did what they did

00:04:46--> 00:04:48

to the companions.

00:04:50--> 00:04:59

But yes, Allah subhanho wa Taala protected them. Then likewise, Allah subhanho wa Taala who protect us
