Paris Attack: Unity Rally in Los Angeles, California



It was raining last Sunday, but we went downtown to the Unity Rally in front of the City Hall, where a thousand people gathered to show solidarity to the French following the horrific terrorist attacks in Paris last week. 


(In Paris, 1.6 million joined the Unity Rally.)

Before sharing my pictures, here are links to articles about Muslim Condemnation of the Paris Attacks. It is important for people to realize that Muslims and these Islamic terrorists are different. As the brother of the slain French policemen, Ahmed Merabet, said,"Islam is a religion of love. My brother was killed by terrorists, by false Muslims."

Muslims Around the World Condemn Carlie Hebdo Attack

Islamic Leaders Condemn Paris Attack

US Muslims Condemn Paris Terror Attack

German Muslims Denounce Paris Attack

And here is a link to a Prayer to End Violence

I took the following pictures at the Unity Rally in Los Angeles, California:




























We also held up pens to support Freedom of Speech and to express our sympathies to the victims of the terrorist acts in Paris.

May peace prevail!
