Friday Smiles: Supportive Scene Outside Cambridge Mosque

CAMBRIDGE, MA — If the world feels a little dark lately, hopefully this photo will bring a smile to your face.

Shared with Patch by Twitter user @gedaliap, it shows a small group holding supportive signs and flowers outside the Islamic Society of Boston's Cambridge mosque. Other photos show the folks pictured above were three out of a small handful demonstrating in front of the building Friday.

Signs read, "Thanks!, Muslim neighbors for adding so much to our wonderful city" and "We stand with our Muslim neighbors."

It's a heartwarming gesture in a week that's seen threats levied against Muslims in Wayland (one of several mosques around the country).
