Vandalized Arizona Mosque Flooded With Support From Interfaith Allies
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/vandalized-arizona-mosque-flooded-with-support-from-interfaith-allies_us_5ab158a9e4b054d118dd9f7cWeeks after two women filmed themselves vandalizing a mosque in Tempe, Arizona, members of the local interfaith community showed up en masse to stand in solidarity with their Muslim neighbors.
Kristy Sabbah, office manager at the Islamic Community Center of Tempe, said the messages of support from allies haven’t yet stopped pouring in.
“The response from the interfaith community has been overwhelming,” Sabbah told HuffPost in an email.
The mosque continues to receive phone calls, emails and Facebook messages from people expressing their solidarity, she said. Interfaith allies are also sending the center flowers and sweets. Many have even brought their children to the Islamic center with handmade cards of love and encouragement.
“It’s beautiful to see how two people’s hate brought together hundreds of people in love,” Sabbah said.
