More good works from Muslims

From Reuter's News Service:

"OSLO, Feb 21 (Reuters) - More than 1000 Muslims formed a human shield around Oslo's synagogue on Saturday, offering symbolic protection for the city's Jewish community and condemning an attack on a synagogue in neighboring Denmark last weekend.
 
"Chanting 'No to anti-Semitism, no to Islamophobia,' Norway's Muslims formed what they called a ring of peace a week after Omar Abdel Hamid El-Hussein, a Danish-born son of Palestinian immigrants, killed two people at a synagogue and an event promoting free speech in Copenhagen last weekend.

"'Humanity is one and we are here to demonstrate that,' Zeeshan Abdullah, one of the protest's organizers told a crowd of Muslim immigrants and ethnic Norwegians who filled the small street around Oslo's only functioning synagogue.

"'There are many more peace mongers than warmongers,"'Abdullah said as organizers and Jewish community leaders stood side by side. 'There's still hope for humanity, for peace and love, across religious differences and backgrounds.'"
