BUFFALO, N.Y. — ​"We are with you, we stand with you," this was one of the messages those part of the Muslim community in Buffalo came to spread to those impacted by the horrific mass shooting that took place at the Tops on Jefferson Avenue. About 100 people came out to show their solidarity Friday. 

"The whole community was shocked about what happened. It is, what affects one, affect all of the community," Yahye Omar, an imam, said. 

Religious leaders rallied against hate and racism and then prayed together Friday evening. Omar says there is now fear within the community, but he says there is a cure. 

"Us leaders of religions, we have to cure the people with the spirit that we have, and tell other other people that, you know what, this is the way, with the spirit, we can heal each other," Omar said.

Majed Behaibih says seeing people come out to support each other shows how close knit the community is.

"This community is built on love and friendship and unity, that they come together in times of need," Behaibih, Council on American-Islamic Relations fund development manager.

Omar took the opportunity to call for the end of hate. 

"We have to stand, all of us in one line, against any kind of hatred of any kind. We say that enough is enough and that's it. We have to stop the violence and come together as brothers and sisters," Omar said.
