As mentioned by my colleague earlier, words really do matter. Hate was allowed to rise to the surface because of certain political figures, especially to the south of us and overseas, as mentioned. Prior to that, suppressing hate existed all over, especially in western countries, and it took decades for us to lower hate and try to eradicate it. It's now going to take many more years to resuppress this hate that has been allowed to simmer back up.
This is where Canada's leaders calling out the world on all forms of injustice—not just hate but all forms of injustice—will help change hearts and minds. It has to happen all over the world. Our leaders have to lead by example. They have to be the ones to change hearts globally. Canada's main export to the world should be our love for humanity and our call against injustices.
Our community, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at, is going to be launching something called the “love for all” initiative. We'll share some of those ideas with you. It's not just about Islamophobia but about all expressions of hate and injustice that we're going to try to do our part to help quell.
Also, our own community is going to be having a conference to better provide suggestions for this national summit that's coming up, so we'll have some concrete suggestions to forward as well.
