Tuesday, June 14 at 6:00 p.m. About 20 Muslim youths gathered outside the Islamic Society of Greater Chattanooga mosque on Gunbarrel Road on Sunday night to mourn the morning's mass shooting in Orlando, Fla., and denounce hatred."I wanted to create an outlet for everyone to mourn and feel what they were feeling and feel that together," said Iman Ali, a 16-year-old rising senior at Girls Preparatory School who organized the meeting and encouraged attendees to familiarize themselves with the names and faces of the victims.One girl who spoke said, "We can't call for an end to Islamaphobia until we call for an end to homophobia."Those in attendance were invited inside afterwards to participate in a meal with the congregation as a Ramadan fast came to a close."We are very sad this has happened," said Arif Shafi, a board member at the mosque. "Anytime this happens, we feel a lot of burden on our shoulders. It's not our fault, but we feel a burden, because it's one of us who did this. We feel like we failed in one way or the other. But the majority of Muslims, as you can tell, are peace-loving."
