Statement from Darshan Kang on the bombing of mosques in Lahore
On Friday, two Ahmadi Muslim mosques were bombed in Lahore, Pakistan.
Many lives were lost and many more people were injured. The Ahmadi Muslim community in Calgary is in mourning, and today I ask sympathetic citizens of all cultures, religions and philosophies to offer their prayers and thoughts for the suffering of the affected people.
Terrorism is a blight upon humanity, and these innocent victims did nothing to provoke this vicious attack. It is our duty as human beings to strongly condemn and resist these unspeakable acts.
Ahmadi Muslims have been persecuted in Pakistan for decades. I am grateful that here in Canada we have freedom of worship and respect for all cultures, religions and points of view. Let us hope that one day such freedoms will be upheld all over the world, and that these senseless acts of violence will end forever.
