It doesn't matter which religion we are for, we are all humans together. Muslim charities prove this during a fund raiser to help rebuild the black churches burnt down after Charleston shooting. There has been eight black churches burnt down so far, reports say.
The Muslim charities have succeeded in raising, $20,000 from 495 contributors to support the cause.
A statement from the fundraising page states:
''All houses of worship are sanctuaries, a place where all should feel safe, a place we can seek refuge when the world is too much to bear.Three of the church burnings have been ruled arson, while the others are being investigated.
We are calling on you to help add our support to faith communities across the country pooling their resources to rebuild these churches.''As Muslims we know the importance of protecting the vulnerable and respecting people who call on God in their various tongues.''We must always keep in mind that the Muslim community and the black community are not different communities.We are profoundly integrated in many ways, in our overlapping identities and in our relationship to this great and complicated country''
