LETTER

Edmonton attacks

 

The fact that ISIS did not directly plot these attacks do not offer me any sort of relief. It is more terrifying that without lifting a finger or intention, ISIS has managed to exert its influence to such an extent that it inspired such violence on Canadian soil.

As a Muslim, I am forced - yet again - to apologize to my fellow Canadians, and stress that Islam has no connection or foundation which supports any acts of terror or extremism. These are terrorist acts, and should be treated as such.

My sincerest condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victims, and anyone affected by this unfortunate event.
