Joined By Other Faiths, Tallahassee Muslims To Hold Peace Rally Saturday

Islamic Center of Tallahassee's website

In wake of the Orlando mass shooting, Tallahassee Muslims are holding a peace rally this weekend.

The Islamic Center of Tallahassee organized Saturday’s rally in front of Florida’s Historic Capitol, and the public is encouraged to attend.

Like a similar event they held in December after the San Bernardino attacks, people of other faiths are expected to join members of the Islamic Center of Tallahassee to pray for Orlando and condemn the attacks.

The rally will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday.
