It is hard to put into words the extreme sadness, frustration, and anger so many of us are feeling with respect to an alleged group attack on a Muslim woman in front of her 7-year-old child and others in Moncton, New Brunswick.
While trying to enjoy a car parade inside a parking lot, the family were allegedly accosted by a group that yelled obscenities at them, including phrases like “Go back to your country."
Moments after, the group then allegedly beat the Muslim women in front of her son, while her husband was some distance away. He said he found her later on with a swollen face and bloody nose, along with other sign of an alleged assault.
This is a horrifying ordeal and the authorities have been alerted. We are in touch with all parties and urge authorities to investigate all angles of this incident, including hate motivations.
Meanwhile, we urge all elected officials in Atlantic Canada and beyond to denounce the rise in Islamophobia across Canada, and to meet with community members.
We will have more to say as the situation evolves.
In other news, Lindsey Graham is dead.
“I am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to do…”
“Level the place.”
“Do in Gaza what we did in Tokyo and Berlin”
Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.
لماذا الإصرار على تهمة حماس استخدمت الاغتصاب كسلاح في 7 اكتوبر؟ Why insist on the charge that Hamas used rape as a weapon on October 7th?

هذه الدنيا مساحة سفر، والنفس أمشاج متداخلة، وفي الناس صور لا تنتهي، ونفوس ملونة لا تُحصى، والشيطان لا يفتر في صب ظلماته ونفث وساوسه، والقلب يضعف عن السير والبصر، وكل هذا محوجٌ إلى زاد النور، قرآنًا وذِكرًا، وصلاةً تُمسك عن الإنسان صخب الدنيا، بالارتفاع حالا وسجودًا إلى الملأ الأعلى، وفتحِ أبواب المناجاة التي يتنفس فيها العبد أنفاس اليقين.
فأدم صلتك بالوحي والذكر، وكن من الساجدين الضارعين؛ فإن الحياة هنالك، وما سوى ذلك فخيال مضمحل هالك!
