[Excerpts]
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Canada is speaking out against the persecution of Rohingyas.
National President Lal Khan Malik was in Saskatoon Friday on a tour of Western Canada.
He said most Ahmadiyya Muslims come from Pakistan where they are also persecuted, “so we feel the pain which (the Rohingya) are experiencing.”
But, he said the main reason for speaking out “is that our faith tells us that we should stand up against injustice.”
Canada can play its part by putting pressure on the Myanmar government, and also providing humanitarian relief, he continued.
Conservative MP Kevin Waugh, while speaking at a protest event on Saturday, declared “we believe this is a genocide.”
