BOSTON AND NEW YORK — On Monday, Bob Roberts got on a plane to head to Washington. The evangelical pastor from Keller, Texas, had a message he wanted to send to the nation’s Muslims.
“I’m here today, to say as a Southern Baptist, I want you Muslims to know, I love you, I care about you, I support your right of religious freedom,” Mr. Roberts told those gathered at a mosque on Monday. “I will stand with you, and there are many of us.”
It’s a message that’s being delivered in cities like Boston, where 2,600 people poured into a mosque Sunday night for an interfaith service, and Nashville, Tenn., where residents created a chalk mural of support outside a mosque. And it’s being heard in Phoenix, where hundreds of residents – including the mayor – lined up to buy food from a Lebanese baker whose front windows were shattered multiple times by a vandal.
When a business owner showed up to donate new windows, the Arizona Republic reported, the bakery owner, Isam Saed, asked him who sent him. “The world,” Rick Pyle, owner of M&M Glass Co., replied.
