Rabbi Leads New York's Muslim Day Parade

[JI7]

The Jewish and Muslim communities in New York have come together in an act of unity in the age of Donald Trump, with a rabbi leading the annual Muslim Day Parade in the city.

Parade organisers asked Rabbi Marc Schneier to be the honorary grand marshal in order to send a clear message of unity and togetherness between the two religions.

“This is a clear message to the world that we can be united despite our differences,” Imam Shamsi Ali, the president of the Muslim Foundation of America, said.

Mr Schneier indicated he felt honoured to be a part of the parade, which is in its 32nd year.

“We have witnessed a real coming together of Muslims and Jews in America that serves as a paradigm for other nations,” he said.

He continued to note that the Jewish community has been particularly vocal of Mr Trump.

2. +1!!! THIS

What the world needs now is the people setting aside their differences, which are being used to drive us apart, and good people from all walks of life coming together!

In a weird and terrible way, Trump is slowly bringing us together after driving us apart.

This is awesome, more of this!!!
