'Beautiful gestures from local community mean a lot to Muslims here'

The arrival of a woman at the mosque bearing flowers was a “beautiful gesture”, one that meant a lot to the Muslim community, a senior member of the mosque said.

Fazel Ryklief, of the Islamic Foundation of Ireland (IFI) mosque in Dublin’s south inner city, said it was one of a number of gestures from the non-Muslim community. Phone calls and emails came in shortly after news emerged of the terror attacks in Christchurch, New Zealand, with children believed to be among the dead.
