Alhamdulillah.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to file police reports, preserve evidence, and provide information. That collective effort mattered. It helped ensure that what many of us witnessed was documented and brought directly to the attention of law enforcement.
An arrest and a charge are not a conviction, and the matter will now proceed through the justice system.
But today is also a reminder that anti-Muslim hatred and threats of violence should never be treated as normal background noise. When we see it, we document it. We report it. And we stand together against hate and intimidation in our communities.
@esme_saysno@TorontoPolice This isnโt a place of worship you airhead. Itโs outside the meridian arts centre and they were protesting outside for the war criminal Mark Regev. Thatโs how stupid you are!
