Muslims show solidarity, attend Catholic mass

– Muslims attended Catholic mass in churches and cathedrals in France in Italy to show gesture of solidarity

– The Muslims unfurled a banner outside the church with the statement: “Love for all. Hate for none.”

– The gesture was after two Muslim teenagers killed and slit the throat of a French priest

After a French priest was killed by two teenage Muslim fanatics, Muslims attended Catholic mass on Sunday in the churches and cathedrals in France and Italy.

Rev. Jacques Hamel, 85, was killed by two Muslim teenagers aged 19 after being slit on the throat on Tuesday.

Some Muslims gathered in Rouen, at the towering Gothic cathedral where Hamel was killed. Muslims sat in the front row as they attend the mass as a gesture of solidarity. The nun who was taken hostage was also present joined in shaking the hands and embracing the Muslim visitors after the service.

“We are very moved by the presence of our Muslim friends and I believe it is a courageous act that they did by coming to us,” said archbishop of Rouen, Dominique Lebrun.
