Like you, we experienced no "embrace" of Muslims then, and I see almost no evidence of it now.

Nope. 20 years later, Muslims (and those who look like them- those dark-skinned A-Rabs, you know) are still looked upon with suspicion and hatred, and treated with disdain.

Gurdeep Pandher is a Canadian Muslim who has been dancing throughout the pandemic to bring joy and peace to the world and I'd like to share a recent video of his with you guys.

Laureen you and Gurdeep Pandher gave me fun, movement, color, nature (water, rocks, sky), positivity, the sound of the boat in the water, and the caring of you both. Thank you, Laureen and Gurdeep.
