A week after the London Bridge terror attack, British Muslims spent their Sunday handing out 3,000 roses to strangers, reminding the world of what it really means to be Muslim.
“[We] celebrate love, community and our common humanity,” reads the Facebook page of 1000Roses, a community organisation. “This is the time to take hold of the pen and decide what narrative will define us in the wake of dark and distressing times.”
Eight people were killed on the night of June 3, when three men drove a van across London Bridge, plowing into crowds. After coming to a halt, the attackers used knives to stab strangers.
Forty-eight people were injured in the attack, for which ISIS has claimed responsibility.
