Many Canadians have carried a heavy weight for years. For those of us 'visibly' different, we have been told too many times that we do not belong. Our elders told us to keep quiet, lay low, but no longer. We must liberate us from this weight. We cannot remain silent any longer.
(1/4) I have some deeply personal and tragic news to share. Over the weekend my relatives in London, Ontario were murdered in what is being investigated as a hate crime. Authorities believe that they were targeted because they were of the Muslim faith.
@Ortho_PA Well said. I am with you and will be a voice for our oppressed brothers and sisters! May Allah give guidance to the oppressors and safeguard the oppressed! Ameen
I swear the ground under me jumped, didnt just shake. Non stop vicious Israeli attacks across #Gaza, so many nearby explosions. My ears r buzzing too loud to hear anything, eyes+stomach+throat burning, tough night. #GazaUnderAttack#PalestineUnderAttack
Last strike was horrendous. Zayneb was covered her ears. She asked me 2 press her hands hard against her ears so she cant hear blasts. Ground was literally bouncing beneath me. She finally calmed down.We're both lying on a mattress in the corridor listing to lullabies on my cell.
i cant believe people are live tweeting their last words and prayers and we're just reading them and the most we can do is translate and retweet to a wider audience. i hate this with every fiber of my being
@Ortho_PA I’m really sorry for everything that’s happening. Keeping your family and all other Palestinian families in my special prayer. Inna ma’al usri yusra! #FreePalaestine
@Ortho_PA I ask myself this question all the time. What did I ever do in my life to deserve the life I have and what did they do or not do to deserve the life they live each and everyday! #FreePalaestine
Urgent Appeal: International aid agencies must immediately lend a hand in rescuing victims. Many people are under the rubble as Israeli blindly bombarded several houses. Gaza is in bad need for all types of equipments to help rescue people today for the days to come

The way my dying patients wife spoke those words took my breath away. The pause between each word. The emphasis on each word as though willing him to feel the power, the pain, and the emotion.
It was as if it was a plea and a fact at the same time.
Nida Yasir, host of 'Good morning Pakistan', in her disgusting appetite for ratings called parents of Marwah & went on to ask merciless questions, reliving the pain & agony of parents. 'Be Sharam. Be Ghairat Log.
