“They cannot separate us.”
Three best friends in Montreal took a stand for tolerance after the terrorist attacks in Paris.
Matt Dejar is from New York. Thomas Brag is from Paris. Ammar Kandil is "a Muslim from Egypt."
For nearly an hour on Monday, the three friends stood together in the busy Berri-UQAM metro station holding hands and sharing a message of tolerance on their shirts and on signs in front of them.
The Paris attacks also affected them on a personal level. One of Brag's friends was in the Bataclan concert hall where terrorists killed dozens of people before blowing themselves up when police stormed the building.

"He was shot protecting his wife," Dejar told BuzzFeed Canada. "He was shot three times in the spine and he's in the hospital right now in a coma. We're not sure if he's going to get out ... and it's a huge reason we did this."
