Jewish, Muslim and Sikh leaders come together to condemn an alleged attack on Victoria's Baitul Salam mosque.
Rabbi Yaakov Glasman shaking hands with the spokesperson and media coordinator of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Victoria, Aziz Bhatti .Politicians, community and faith leaders from across Victoria have come together at a mosque east of Melbourne to show their support after the prayer hall was allegedly vandalised. Charges have been laid against eight suspects after the property was damaged last weekend.
The events of the weekend traumatised many among the 2,000-strong Ahmadiyya community, many of whom are refugees. But the outpouring of support and goodwill from the community has made it bearable. "Even though we all come from different beliefs, we all need to be showing support to one another," Rabbi Yaakov Glasman said."We feel the pain, we know that's why we come together because you never know when something will befall you too," Jasbir Singh, from the Sikh Interfaith Council of Victoria, said.
