"Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, & the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people." - Karl Marx

Montreal March For Mideast Peace

Jewish and Muslim Canadians along with Quebec politicians marched through the streets of Montreal on Sunday, calling for an end to the war in the Middle East.


Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss carried the lead banner and walked with Imam Sayed Nabil Abbas, leading the 15,000 people in a peaceful demonstration.

"The Muslim countries and our cousins have shown us for hundreds of years, we always have coexisted in harmony," Weiss said.



If you get a chance watch the entire clip. There's an interesting speech at the end from a representative of the Jewish Hasidic community.


this is why i love montreal.....we are everyday living proof that people from all over the world, with different religions, cultures, and beliefs can live in peace. nuff said
