“The terrorist road attack that killed 4 Muslims in Canada yesterday is motivated by Islamophobia. Shows once again how constructed fear leads to hatred, hatred to animosity, and violence. This modern barbarism must be stopped. The demonization of Muslims must be ended,” Kalın tweeted.
On Sunday, four members of a Muslim family were killed in a premeditated truck attack.
The attack took place in London, Ontario province. The victims were identified as Salman Afzaal, 46; his wife, Madiha, 44; their 15-year-old daughter, Yumna; and Mr. Afzaal’s 74-year-old mother.
A boy aged nine, the family's only survivor, is in hospital with serious injuries.
