How #Canada Saved My Life: A #CanadaDay2020 Story

When a country gives you a chance at life, you become willing to give your life for it.

Those of us whose parents migrated to Canada opened our eyes in a paradise and silver spoons in our mouths.
We would never know the horrors that they escaped, the harrowing sacrifices they made, the unspeakable corruption they endured, the invisible injuries that still haunt them.

My parents were coveted government criminals in Pakistan. Their persecution was state-sanctioned.
Their whole community was seen as a virus.

Their heinous crime?

They called themselves Muslims.

Because they believed that a prophet could come after Muhammad (sa) the corrupt clergy there declared killing Ahmadis like my parents a mandate.

Shops began to burn.
