For Immediate Release

MAT and ISCC Strongly Condemn the Alleged Plot of Terrorism in Canada

The Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (www.iscc.ca) and the Muslims Against Terrorism (www.m-a-t.org) strongly condemn the alleged plot of terrorism in Canada. Based upon the media reports today two persons have been arrested by the police for allegedly planning to attack Via Rail in the GTA.

“We are grateful to those Muslims who helped the law enforcement agencies for exposing such a plot. This was their Islamic and Canadian duty and they did the right thing”, said Imam Syed Soharwardy.

We are glad that the terrorism was caught and stopped by our law enforcement agencies. We are thankful for their hard work and keeping Canada safe. We also urge the media not to use this incident to badmouth about the Canadian Muslims and our faith Islam.  These suspects will be facing justice and if they are proven guilty of their crimes they will be punished.

For questions, please contact Imam Syed Soharwardy at 416-994-5467 OR 403-831-6330 OR toll free 1-866-77-ISLAM.
