Today, a vigil was held at the Islamic Center of Burlington where so many people came to show their support for the shooting at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. It was a very dreadful day not just for Muslims but for every single person no matter their faith. The shooter’s purpose was to spread fear among Muslims but instead we all came together and showed tremendous amount of support for each other. Things like this is what will make our community stronger than ever. It was an incredible opportunity for students at BHS to become part of the vigil too and we all truly appreciate everyone’s support. In addition, there were many guest speakers who spoke about this incident and how we respect and encourage love for everyone. Especially, Rabbi Susan Abramson from Temple of Shalom Emeth made a beautiful speech on getting together as a community. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and we hope that people keep on supporting each other to pass the toughest times. “Our faith should never matter more than our humanity” - Hasan Peace ☮️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #bpschat#bhs #newzealandshootings#community @burly_schools@burlingtonmahighschool@patrick_larkin @marthasimon73
