I had the opportunity of meeting his wife a few years back in the midst of all the craziness. She is quite the woman mashaAllah.

Alhamdulillah for the fact Canada slightly regained its senses with the lawsuit and inquiry. The day America does though… subhanAllah, that’s when things will slightly lessen.

Keep all your brothers in your du’aas inshaAllah. They’re still being arrested left and right for no reason… may Allah swt protect our Ummah.

Jazakum’Allah khair for the update. It’s good to know that him and his wife are still fighting for his rights which were so degradingly denied to them. I think they should continue to do this as long as they can and even then I think no “compensation” will ever be enough to recompense the horror he was subjected to.

I’m currently doing a Political Science Specialist program in university and although I was trying to switch back to Business, reading this makes me want to stay a little bit so that I can at least try to make a difference in cases like these, even if it’s a little.

I, Johnny, as an American Christian do apologize on behalf of ones with a conscience that i so deeply regret that our country has come to these things and forsook the very fundamentals that once made us great. My heart goes to each of my foreign brothers and sisters of any faith.

May mercy find us in our great time of need, now

I remembered at one point they turned towards the audience and talked about how its important that Muslims should be more involved politically and in their communities.

mashallah, that’s the true spirit. It is a reminder for all of us that the solution to fight injustice is not to hide in the basement and spend countless hours bemoaning the situation, but rather to do something constructive. And I do believe it all starts with becoming integrated in the local community and making a positive change. There is no better friend for Muslims than word-of-mouth dawah.
