Hundreds of people marched to an Islamic Center in Boise
Hundreds of people marched to an Islamic Center in Boise in an annual ritual that had added meaning this year. Organizers say after the recent terror attacks in Paris and elsewhere, this year’s march was also a march of peace, as well as a rally against terrorism and the so-called Islamic State terror group. About 200 people braved frigid temperatures to take part in the march. Some who walked from Ann Morrison Park to the Imam Hussain Islamic Center on Curtis Road carried signs denouncing terror groups. Asaad Zangana, imam of the Islamic Center, said that the goal of the walk was to show Muslims uniting against terrorism and to show solidarity with the victims of the attacks.
