To show solidarity after the brutal murder of Fr. Hamel in his Church in Normandy, Muslims have attend Mass in France including Nice. To me, the world needs more communication, compassion, understanding and unity like this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-36936658"For me, it is very important to be here today," Mohammed Karabila, President of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray Mosque, said in Rouen. "It should be shown physically, because until now the Muslim community did a lot of things that were not seen. "Today we wanted to show physically, by kissing the family of Jacques Hamel, by kissing His Grace Lebrun in front of everybody, so they know that the two communities are united."

Love this. Wish Muslim Americans would do something like this.

That is awesome and it took a lot of courage.
Our Lutheran church held an Iftar dinner (meal eaten after sundown during Ramadan) for our Muslim neighbors. Let me just say the fear goes both ways. There were many cases of someone coming in, looking around, then bringing the rest of their group in. They were very uncertain of their welcome in a Christian church.
It's really interesting to see things from the other perspective.
