With the recent immigration ban and two separate attacks on mosques, different faith groups in town have reached out to the Islamic Center of Lubbock to show solidarity.

“For me as a Christian God has told me that I must love my neighbor so we have a sense of solidarity and commitment to one another. The Lubbock interfaith community is very strong here,” said Ryon Price, the Senior Pastor of the Second Baptist Church.

A meeting was hosted at the Islamic Center to bring all the supporters together, through both a meeting and prayer. Each different religion had a representative that had the opportunity to express their feelings on the current state of the Muslim faith in America.

“I am a Christian, I believe that everyone has the right to worship as they please,” said Carol Schempp, a supporter of the Islamic Center.

Schempp came early to the prayer and she says it really showed her how similar we all are when it comes to worship.

“It reminded me of how much we are alike. Were all the children of God,” said Schempp.

The center says they have been overwhelmed with the support and they are thrilled on how many people ended up coming to the event.

“American Muslim community of Lubbock we are grateful to our friends and all our American fellows who came to show support. Many came and joined us in the prayer and prayed with us, it was amazing,” said Samer Altabaa, the Imam of the Islamic Center.
