When thousands of people gathered in front of the London Muslim Mosque on Tuesday night, mourning the family killed in a suspected hate crime, Nusaiba Al-Azem was standing ready at the podium. Al-Azem is a London, Ont. lawyer and second vice-chair of the mosque. She hosted the vigil where politicians also paid tribute to the family.
Friends and neighbours are remembering the four Muslim family members killed in what police say was a targeted attack in London, Ont., and are demanding community leaders take greater steps to address Islamophobia in Canada.
A day after thousands held a vigil outside the London Muslim Mosque, expressions of sympathy are being joined with calls for action to end Islamophobia.
