DDHK News, Canada - A group of Muslim and Muslim women in Montreal, Canada, distributes flowers to people crossing the street in the city. Their goal is to spread the message that Islam is a religion of peace and compassion.
"We want to show the world, Islam is not a bad religion," said one of the organizers of this movement, Massouma Al Bahely, as quoted republica.co.id from CBCNews.
Islam, said Al Bahely, was not what they thought it was, that it was attached to terrorists. "We are not like that, we are like everyone else on this earth, we are human," he said.
The distribution of flowers at strategic locations in the city was held by the Muslim Youth Montreal group, as part of a series of events commemorating the Prophet Muhammad's birthday. In addition, this activity also coincided with World Hijab Day, one of the right ways to introduce Islam to the world.
Roses were chosen as flowers that were distributed to this audience. This rose, given in a subtle and polite manner, is meant to spread the message that is pure, Islam is a religion of peace. (Onislam / ROL). *
