The video addresses the following aspects:
1) Prayers and Condolences for the victims and their loved ones
2) Ideologies behind this attack (white supremacy, racism, right-wing extremism, nationalistic, fanaticism)
3) Reasons for such provocation
(Anti Muslim sentiments, constant islamophobia stemming from Race politics & Anti-immigration rhetoric)
4) Who are the real perpetrators behind the attack?
The terrorist who mowed down the Muslim pedestrians was simply a foot soldier!
These attacks do not happen in vacuum but are provoked, instigated by the thinktanks, masterminds, those who radicalise these lowlifes, those who propagate extremist views;
They are none other than the hate spewing politicians, tabloid media outlets, journalists instigating fear
5) Aftermath/Follow up
Yes they have called it terrorism (good) but it doesn’t end there rather the response begins there.
Charge him with terrorism, the terror laws need to focus on these extremists, intelligence bureau and authorities need to go after those who associate or use similar language of islamophobia and racism
6) Message of hope
Those who died shall be considered Martyrs Inshallah
Those who died in the path of Allah, they are not dead but are alive
Umar (ra): Our dead are in Paradise & your dead are in Hell Fire
7) Punishment for the attackers
“But whoever kills a believer intentionally – his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allah has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.” {Al Quran 4:93}
8. Conclusion:
Let’s stand united against hate and racism, all Canadians and all humans as one in humanity
Advise:
– Best Muslim Response would be to go about your everyday life regularly and defy fear
– Dawah perspective: Let’s direct our energies in islamic activism, informing and inviting everyone to the greatness of Islam including the Islamophobes, White-Supremacists, Right-wing extremists…..
