Members of Boise’s Muslim community gathered Sunday morning for an annual march of peace, honoring the life of an historic Islamic leader.<\/p>\n
For the fifth straight year, local Shia Muslims, many of them carrying flags or signs denouncing terrorism, walked from Ann Morrison Park to Islamic Center on Orchard Street.<\/p>\n
According to event organizers, the event honors Imam Hussein, peace be upon him, who was martyred 1,400 years ago giving his life for the Islamic ideals of freedom, justice and human rights.<\/p>\n
Similar march was held where dozens of Utah Muslims gathered in South Salt Lake to share a message of peace and love.<\/p>\n
