Edmontonians unite in rally against racist flyers

Edmontonians of all backgrounds and faiths rallied against hate Friday after anti-Islamic flyers were distributed in the city for the fifth time in just over a month.

• Edmonton police threaten charges for distributing anti-Islam flyers

• Group counters anti-Islam flyers with message of 'love and peace'

They signed their names to a banner with messages of love and support in solidarity with Edmonton's Muslim community.

Community leaders in the Indigenous, Jewish, Somali-Canadian and Muslim communities, as well as police and politicians, denounced discrimination.

Coun. Dave Loken said the issue will be addressed in an upcoming motion from city council.
