Let us make a serious effort to fight hate on campus.
With the recent terrorist attack on a Canadian Muslim family of five, leaving one survivor in London, Ontario, fear is the last thing that should control our next step.
Islamophobia is real. It is hard at work.
It has led to governments passing legislation targeting Muslims and their faith practices in the name of “fighting terrorism”. It has led to killing of innocent people.
You may have personally experienced it or know a family member, friend or acquaintance who has. This new racism must be made known and fought against. So let us take charge of ourselves and our future.
