MANAL was invited to appear before the Special Senate Committee on the Charitable Sector on March 18, 2019.

For your information, here is a copy of the MANAL submission to the committee.

March 15, 2019 is another sad day, not only for Muslims but for all those who are bound together in humanity. Two mosques in New Zealand were attacked by a gunman who brutally killed 50 Muslims and injured many others while they were offering their Friday prayers. The Muslim Association of Newfoundland and Labrador stands together in solidarity with all those who are affected by this tragedy. Our prayers are with the victims and their families. Especially since the Quebec mosque shooting, Canadian Muslims have been increasingly concerned with the rise of Islamophobia at home. Now, we are even more deeply shocked and disturbed to see the ease and the speed with which Islamophobic violence is spreading, without sparing even the most peaceful communities beyond Canada. Although it is now evident that no place is immune to such hatred, we pray that our province will continue to be one of the safest. In that context, we thank our fellow Newfoundlanders and Labradorians for their outpouring of love and solidarity during this difficult time. Thanks to all those who sent letters and e-mails of support, left beautiful bouquets at the door of our local mosque and joined us today during our Friday prayer.
