00:00We've all come together along with faith leaders from across communities, in particular the
00:07Christian and the Jewish community, to show solidarity to the mosque here that was attacked
00:15on Tuesday, but more importantly to pay our respects to the families of the victims of
00:23the horrific attack on Monday.
00:27When one life is taken, it's as if the entire world has been destroyed.
00:32This week, three worlds were utterly destroyed, and we're feeling the ripple effects of that
00:39in our bodies and hearts today and onwards.
00:44What is clear is it's okay to be angry and fearful and confused.
00:49What is not okay is to turn that anger and that fear outwards.
00:54So I've come alongside the South Port Jewish communities to stand in solidarity with my
01:00Muslim sisters and brothers at the attack this week.
01:04It is simply not okay.
01:06It is not what is needed in this moment.
01:09They and we all deserve better.
01:12There needs to be time to heal and to be in community.
01:16We are stronger together.
01:19On Tuesday night, I thought I'm the unluckiest man in the whole of the country.
01:29On Friday evening, I feel the luckiest man in the whole of the country.
01:35Look at all these beautiful people.
01:37Look at all these faces and face, different face and different, you know, we have here
01:45people from the church, from the synagogue, and we are all friends, by the way, with some
01:51of the leaders that you see behind you here.
01:54This beautiful community came together, and before we came to clean here, they were here
02:00six o'clock in the morning cleaning and sweeping and asking what can they do in order to, you
02:08know, help.
02:09So we thank them very much, and the last word is to say they will never win.
02:17Hurt will never prevail.
02:21Always love will prevail in the end.
02:24Thank you very much, and I appreciate everybody here, and I would like to give a hug to each
02:29and every one, but I will leave that in later, inshallah.
