Norwegians Plan Human ‘Peace Circle’ Around Oslo Mosque

One peace ring begets another.

A group of Norwegians plans to link hands and encircle a mosque in Oslo, Norway, next Saturday, offering the symbolic peace gesture as a “thank you” to the city’s Muslim population, more than 1,000 of whom formed their own “peace circle” around Oslo’s synagogue this weekend.

“Humanity is one and we are here to demonstrate that,” Zeeshan Abdullah, one of the organizers of the synagogue event, told Reuters. “There are many more peace mongers than warmongers … There’s still hope for humanity, for peace and love, across religious differences and backgrounds.”
