UPDATE: This event has been cancelled. The organizer AccionAmerica whose flyer & info we posted has removed their event information. There may have been a request from Irving law enforcement and the Islamic Center of Irving to cancel the event because they felt that a security risk was presented by holding the event at the mosque. We apologize for any inconvenience. Updated 2:50 pm December 11
In the backlash against recent anti-Muslim statements, Christians are called to love their neighbors as themselves. These neighbors include our Muslim neighbors. Saturday, December 12, offers Christians a chance to stand in solidarity with our sister and brothers who are Muslim.
There will be a Rally for Peace at 2 pm Saturday, December 12, 21015, at the Irving Islamic Center, 2555 Esters Road, Irving, TX. This mosque has been the target of hate groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.
People are asked to car pool and to arrive by 1:45 if possible, “Bring candles for peace, not weapons of hate.”
