In a move of solidarity and a gesture of good will, Muslims participated in the Sunday mass in churches all over France alongside Christians with the intention of showing that the two communities live side by side and do not give in to the terrorism that hit hard last week again in France when two Muslim terrorists from ISIS murdered a priest and badly wounded a nun in a church.

Also in Italy, many Muslims came to the churches in an act of solidarity on Sunday, providing unusual photographs of traditional Islamic dress alongside Christian symbols and pictures of Jesus.
