The Doha International Center for Interfaith Dialogue (DICID) has expressed its strong condemnation of the horrific run-over incident on a Pakistani Muslim family who was on a picnic last Sunday in Ontario, Canada, which resulted in the killing of four of its members.
In a press statement on Thursday, the DICID said this act must be called a terrorist act, whether it was motivated by Islamophobia or xenophobia, even if it is from one individual, regardless of his religion or affiliation, terrorism does not belong to any religion or creed.
The statement said the criminals only aim to spread hatred and anger among people, adding that such criminal acts only serve the enemies of humanity and extremists.
The centre urged countries that call for tolerance to confront racism and hate speech against minorities in the world, and to confront firmly and forcefully this danger that threatens the world with its severe exacerbation, especially with the increasing waves of migration and asylum in recent decades.
The centre called on the authorities in all countries to play their role entrusted with protecting immigrant or refugee minorities of any gender or colour or adherents of non-main religions in the countries to which they immigrate and to protect their places of worship, and to take all necessary measures to secure these places, with the need to track down the perpetrators and bringing them to justice so that they may receive a just punishment.
The DICID regretted the killing of the members of this innocent family, wishing the injured a speedy recovery, praying God for peace, security and stability to prevail throughout the world.
