Muslims in the US capital handed out hundreds of roses and Quranic messages of humanity
A group of Muslims in the US capital handed out hundreds of roses and Quranic messages of humanity in front of the city’s subway station on the occasion of Christmas Day.
According to reports, the Muslims along with a number of students at the Johns Hopkins University gave away red roses with a translated message of the holy Quran attached.
One of the organizers said that they had handed out over 600 free flowers to people passing by.
She added that the move came in the wake of the recent deadly shooting in California to counter misconceptions about Islam that have been growing since.
Back on December 3, three gunmen wearing military-style gear opened fire at a California social services center, killing at least 14 people and wounding more than a dozen.
They reportedly had links with IS Takfiri terrorist group.
