PHOENIX (Reuters) An Arizona mosque where hundreds gathered last week for an anti-Islam demonstration, with counter-protesters shouting “Go home, Nazis,” was the site of a “love not hate” event on Monday (June 1) to promote peace and inclusiveness, participants said.

The Islamic Community Center of Phoenix said it was hosting a gathering that includes a multi-faith prayer service and speakers to “show that when one of us is mistreated, our community responds with a message of Love and Not Hate.”
