The brutal murder of Abdul Aleem Farooqi while protecting his family has shaken us all. I had the privilege of knowing Abdul, having seen him just over a week ago at my BBQ. Aleem will be remembered by all who knew him as a loving father, devoted family man, and community leader.
Every family in Vaughan, King, and across the country deserves to feel safe in their own homes.
After a series of attacks and home invasions, we cannot afford to wait. We are calling on the federal government to immediately reinstate mandatory minimum prison sentences for violent crime.
We need to send a clear message of deterrence that if you commit a violent crime, you will face serious jail time.
Enough is enough.
Sign the petition and stand up for automatic jail time for serious crimes:

This was my good friend from Pakistan.
We met recently in Canada when he came to visit.
I'm in shock and this is what the community faces everyday in Pakistan.
May Allah bring his punishment down on these so called Muslims who are no different than Zionists.
