Faith leaders show solidarity after US Islamic school defaced

Jews, Christians and Muslims say Rhode Island community won't be divided by whoever tagged local school with offensive graffiti. (Associated Press and ynetnews.com
The community won't be divided by whoever tagged the Islamic School of Rhode Island with offensive graffiti, local faith leaders said Tuesday. [...] Mufti Ikram, the resident imam in North Smithfield, said the person responsible "failed miserably" because "we stand together as a community in our prayers, and we stand shoulder to shoulder." [...] More than 20 faith leaders and law enforcement officials gathered at the school Tuesday in a show of solidarity. Rabbi Sarah Mack, president of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Rhode Island, said local Muslims have supported the Jewish community during trying times so she wanted to do the same.
