Letter to the editor: A just response to terror

Notes: "Canadians are grappling emotionally with the events in Montreal and Ottawa. Individuals, who claim ideological reasons, took the lives of two Canadian soldiers. ... How do we avoid stereotyping groups based on the actions of a violent few ? It is important to realize that even though terrorists cloak themselves in religious principles, the very religions they represent do not stand for violence. .... Gandhi rightly said that we need to embody the change we seek for our world. Stepping out and visiting mosques, temples, churches and other faith communities will help dispel malicious myths and build bonds of friendship and understanding. Building bridges of understanding and hope will help us withstand acts of terrorism".
