Crescent International is a monthly news magazine from the Institute of Contemporary Islamic Thought (ICIT). It is now managed by an editorial team consisting of Zafar Bangash, ICIT Director and a community organizer affiliated with Al-Quds Day rally, Imam Muhammad al-Asi and Afeef Khan.
On June 2, 2019 Crescent International published an article titled “Toronto’s massive Quds Day rally a slap on Zionists’ face.” Here are excerpts from the article written by “a Contributor from Toronto”:
Several thousand people from all walks of life packed the streets of Toronto for the annual Quds Day rally in Toronto on Saturday June 1 [2019]…
The vast array of speakers effectively refuted the vicious Zionist propaganda that has been hurled at annual Quds Day rallies for years…
Using blackmail, the Zionists had pressured the Toronto City Council to pass the so-called hate motion. But Quds rallies are not about hate; they are about expressing solidarity with the oppressed Palestinian people.
Of course, this excludes the Zionists’ fertile imagination that brands everything critical of Israel and Zionism as ‘hateful’ and ‘anti-Semitic’…
Do the Zionists own Toronto, or Ontario? It takes chutzpah. But that is to be expected from the Zionists. They are trying to turn Toronto into Tel Aviv. We must not let them do so, ever…
The growing popularity of the rallies is causing deep anxiety among Zionists and their supporters, hence their hysterical allegations.
As awareness about Zionist crimes increases, it will hasten the day when this racist ideology will be consigned to the dustbin of history and peace restored in the holy land for people of all faiths.
