CARY, N.C. — Prayers for healing and peace in Paris are continuing around the world and in the Triangle, the Institute of Islamic and Turkish studies planned a special prayer service in Cary with the French Community.
It was standing room only on Sunday afternoon as people from different faiths came together to offer prayers and words of encouragement for victims of the terrorist attacks.
Speakers of Islamic, Christian, and Jewish faiths spoke to the crowd about the sadness they felt about the attacks and the importance of everyone coming together peacefully.
Those of Islamic faith talked about what it is like to be identified as Muslim in the aftermath of the attacks. They want their local community, the nation and the world to know the terrorists are a small percentage of people and do not represent the Muslim community as a whole.
