The Global Imams Council (GIC) expresses its deepest concern and unequivocal condemnation of the recent mass bomb threats sent to over 100 Jewish institutions across Canada, including synagogues, community centers, and hospitals. These heinous acts of intimidation and violence against the Jewish community are not only reprehensible but also represent a stark reminder of the alarming rise in antisemitism in our society.
We commend the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and local law enforcement agencies for their swift response to these threats, ensuring the safety and security of the targeted institutions and their congregants. The GIC stands in full solidarity with the Jewish community during this distressing time and calls for those responsible to be held fully accountable under the law.
It is imperative that all communities stand together against such acts of hatred and terror. The GIC reaffirms its commitment to promoting peace, understanding, and mutual respect among all faiths and communities. We urge authorities to continue their thorough investigation and to take all necessary measures to prevent such threats from occurring in the future.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Jewish community in Canada, and we join them in their resolve to remain strong and united in the face of these challenges.
