Archbishop Of Canterbury Joins Jewish And Muslim Faith Leaders To Declare #WeAreAllHuman

The Archbishop of Canterbury has joined senior Christian, Jewish and Muslim religious leaders from across the country for an inter-faith vigil to "stand together" in support of all minorities suffering in Iraq.

Justin Welby, along with senior faith leaders including Imam Ibrahim Mogra, Ayatollah Dr Sayed Fazel Milani and Rabbi Laura Janner-Klausner, held aloft a banner outside Westminster Abbey with parliamentarians like Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, declaring #WeAreAllHuman for the vigil, which was co-ordinated by World Jewish Relief, Islamic Relief and Christian Aid.

"We show our solidarity with all minorities who are suffering because of ISIS. They are against humanity," Ayatollah Milani said to the assembled crowd.

“The Qur’an says that if you save one life it is as if you have saved the whole of mankind,” said Zia Salik, Islamic Relief’s National Community Fundraising Manager, saying the charity was working with vulnerable people across the region "regardless of race or religion.”
