Opposing Groups Rally at Columbus Mosque on Eid

Opposing protest groups rallied in front of Colombus, Ohio’s Omar Ibn El-Khattab Mosque on June 15, as Muslims celebrated Eid al-Fitr to mark the end of Ramadan.

One group of protesters formed a protective line in front of the Mosque as another anti-Muslim group protested from across the street.

According to a Facebook post from one of the organisers, the goal of the counter-protesters in front of the Mosque was the “de-escalation of the radical anti-Muslim group’s message.” Credit: Mohamad Ayoun via Storyful
