CJCF Condemns act of “terrorism” on Muslim family

Toronto, June 9, 2021-    Leadership from the Canadian Jewish Community Forum (CJCF) have expressed their shock and horror following the attack in London, Ontario  that killed four members of a Muslim family and left one child in hospital.

“We extend our deepest condolences to this family, their friends and their community,” stated Les Scheininger, spokesman for the CJCF National Steering Committee. “The perpetrator of this crime chose to murder four innocent human beings and severely injure another merely because of their religion. This was targeted racism and Islamophobia of the worst kind.We stand with the Muslim community and with Canadians across the country in condemning this heinous act."
