Criminal attacks condemned by Quebec Muslim Organizations

MONTRÉAL, Oct. 23, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - We, the undersigned organizations, strongly condemn the criminal acts that took place in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu on Monday, and in Ottawa yesterday, against the Canadian soldiers and other innocent people.  We offer our sympathy and condolences to the families and friends of the deceased soldiers, and keep in our thoughts and prayers those injured.

We ask the Canadian security authorities to actively pursue the perpetrators, in case there are others, and especially the criminals behind them, who target peace and harmony amongst Canadians. 

We encourage Canadians to stay united and vigilant, and not to fall in the trap of these criminals. We must stand together for the defence of our democracy.

Also, we urge the media outlets to play the crucial role of getting Canadians together in these critical times, against all criminals, regardless of their backgrounds.
