Muslims attend Catholic Masses in France

Muslims have attended Catholic Masses in churches and cathedrals across France in a gesture of solidarity after the brutal killing of an 85-year-old French priest in Normandy.

Reporters said between 100 and 200 Muslims gathered at the towering Gothic cathedral in Rouen, only a few miles from Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray, where Rev Jacques Hamel was killed by two teenage attackers on Tuesday.

“We’re very touched,” Archbishop Dominique Lebrun told broadcaster BFMTV.
