Prayer Vigil at CIC held 18 March 19 for the deceased of Christchurch In these, the worst of times, the best in people has reality been brought into sharp focus. The flowers and the messages of support and love that have been received over the last few days has been overwhelming and incredibly humbling. The Muslim community has been buoyed by the support given unconditionally by the wider community and for this we thank you. This vile act has been a complete failure as it failed to push a wedge amongst the peace-loving, compassionate and thoughtful people of Australia and New Zealand. To those who helped create this environment through their action and words - we say now that you will not be successful in dividing Australian community. The prayer vigil held at CIC Sabah al Ahmed Mosque on 18th March 19 was attended by more than 700 people from Canberran community.
