The life without parole sentence served by Justice Mander is without a doubt the right call. Alhumduliah (thank god) for justice being served and I hope the verdict provides some form of closure to those still reeling from the effects of a devastating tragedy. The conclusion of this week's sentencing is only part of a longer healing journey we must embark on as a nation. There's been much talk about how incredible the response has been towards the Muslim community since the attacks. The question however on the mind of many of us in the Muslim community is how long will it last for?
