Community Members Leave Gifts At Local Mosque
FORT SMITH (KFSM)- The community is reaching out to the members of Masjid Al Salam after the signing of President Trump's immigration order. Handwritten cards, drawings, and bouquets of flowers were all left at the mosque.
You may remember the mosque from a story 5NEWS first reported last year after the prayer center was vandalized. Now, the community is still sending gifts to show members how much the people of Fort Smith welcomes them.
"We found all those flowers and the sign out there, and all the cards from children, adults, and senior citizens," president, Louay Nassri said. "So, we are absolutely blessed to be in this community."
A sign that read, "Flowers of Friendship Fort Smith," was also left near the roadway along with more flowers.
....."Find out how similar we all are," Nassri said. "What brings us together is a whole lot more than what divides us."
