Video Shows Canadian PM Trudeau Praying With Muslims at Mosque

A video documenting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s visit to a mosque in Canada has recently emerged, showing him joining Muslim worshipers for evening prayers during Ramadan in 2013, nearly two years before he was elected, the CIJNews website reported on Monday.

Trudeau was leader of the Liberal Party when he visited the Jamea Masjid mosque in Surrey, British Columbia, in West Canada.

In the video, he is seen wearing traditional Islamic clothing as he delivers a speech that he begins with the Muslim greeting “peace be upon you.”

In his speech, he thanked worshipers for granting him the honor of praying with them, adding that the values of the holy month of Ramadan were also Canadian values.

In November last year, the month after his election victory, Trudeau assured Muslim Canadians that the authorities “will work hard to find those responsible” for setting fire to the Masjid al-Salaam mosque in Ontario following the terrorist attacks in Paris.

He’ll probably report to the nearest mosque and kneel down with his peace loving tolerant bro’s to pray.

I didn’t think it was legal for a non-muslim to even enter a mosque...

or maybe it’s just his shoes...
