Islamic Peace Ring Protects Oslo Synagogue

Muslims form 'ring of peace' to protect Oslo synagogue

" More than 1,000 people formed a "ring of peace" Saturday outside Oslo's main synagogue at the initiative of a group of young Muslims.

The event in the Norwegian capital follows a series of attacks against Jews in Europe, including the terror attacks in Paris in January and in neighboring Denmark last week.

One of the eight independent organisers of Saturday's event in Oslo, Hajrah Arshad said the gathering shows "that Islam is about love and unity."

"We want to demonstrate that Jews and Muslims do not hate each other," co-organiser Zeeshan Abdullah told the crowd, standing in a half-circle before the white synagogue. "We do not want individuals to define what Islam is for the rest of us."

"There are many more peace-mongers than warmongers," he added. "
This type of action is much more beneficial than just talking up "religion of peace" while advocating universal Sharia.

Would that they all might take such actions.

But what is to prevent these peace-keepers from being declared heretics and/or apostates and made into targets themselves?
