Wow. Incredible vid captures Brampton MPP @gurratansingh & NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh’s brother, facing down a racist hater spewing Islamophobia at #Muslimfest2019. “I condemn your racism.” pic.twitter.com/0MdWKzzrJv — Mohammed Hashim (@mohashim) September 2, 2019

Singh, who is Sikh, tweeted that he will never respond to Islamophobia with “I am not a Muslim.”

He says that instead, he will stand with Muslims and say that hate is wrong.

The man holding the microphone later identified himself as Stephen Garvey and said he was the founder of the National Citizens Alliance.

“Political correctness and pandering to ethnic minorities confronted…. someone had to do it,” Garvey said.

Singh’s brother is federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, who made headlines in 2017 for responding to a woman’s racist diatribe by saying that he supported her rights but wouldn’t be deterred by hatred.

In both cases, the Singhs were asked whether they support Shariah law.

Online, some Twitter users are applauding Gurratan Singh for refusing to point out that he isn’t Muslim.
