In French and English, the Prime Minister said that «Eid is a time for community and celebration and it’s a chance to honor the values at the heart of Islam, from service and generosity to peace and compassion and whether it’s volunteering at a local food bank or supporting charities».
«Muslim Canadians show us the best of those values, throughout the year», he stressed, adding that the Canadian government will «always stand with Canada’s Muslim communities and continue the fight against Islamophobia and hatred in all its forms».
For the record, Muslims in North America celebrated Eid al-Fitr on Monday, relying on astronomical calculation.
