Philadelphia, national Muslim community condemns New Orleans attack

With thousands of members, the Philadelphia Masjid in West Philadelphia is a big part of the local Muslim community.

They say Wednesday's terrorist attack in New Orleans in no way represents their faith. Some spoke of the tragedy as they gathered for Friday congregational prayers.

"Whatever you go through through[out] the week, you just come here and listen to the sermon and it fills your heart with joy," said Tone Barr, Community Liaison Director of Philadelphia Masjid.

Such a message was needed after the tragedy along Bourbon Street. Fourteen people were killed when an attacker sped his truck down the pedestrian-filled street before getting out and firing at police. #news #neworleans #muslim #fyp
