Calgary Muslims mark holy day with anti-terror march
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/muslims-in-calgary-mark-holy-day-with-anti-terror-march-1.2821199For many Muslims, the holy day of Ashura will be Monday, but in Calgary, hundreds of Muslims added to this occasion a march to condemn the shootings of two Canadian Forces members.
From the article:
"We are here to build this country together, to make peace and love together," said Fatima Albarri, who took part in the march. "We are originally from the Middle East but we are Canadian."
Earlier this week, funerals were held for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent.
RCMP investigators said their deaths were acts of terrorism by young Canadian men who held radical Islamist beliefs.
