Eleven days down, the Americans protesting against the gruesome murder of George Floyd continue to stage silent protests across the United States of America even as President Donald Trump called them “thugs”. Despite the rubber bullets and tear gas being showered to deter them, the protesters continued to assert #BlackLivesMatter and a huge takeaway from it is people of different religions in New York City denting racial discrimination by guarding the Muslims as they offered Asr namaz.
The pictures and videos of this incident broke the Internet and redefined brotherhood while painting a beautiful picture of unity. Taking to their respective handles on Twitter, the users couldn’t help but gush.
While one user wrote, “Check out Tameedah Islam’s video! #TikTok this brought tears to my eyes. People surrounded these Muslims so they could pray during a blm protest and I wish they would show this on the news but sadly it’ll never happen. #BlackLivesMattter (sic)”, another tweeted, “Non-Muslims surround Muslims so they can pray safely from the harm of NYPD during the #BlackLivesMatter #protest in Brooklyn, NY (sic)” and yet another gushed, “This is so beautiful and amazing Red heartRed heart The non muslim surround muslim so they can pray safely from the harm of the NYPD during a BLM protest in brooklyn New York #StrongerTogether #BlackLivesMatter (sic).”
