A 16-year-old Muslim boy is in police custody for stabbing Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and several churchgoers as a service at the church was livestreamed. The attack has led to tension between members of different faiths, says Father Patrick McInerney, director of the Columban Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations.
"Recent days have shown that fear and misinformation can spread rapidly in the wake of such events. We must reject any attempts to use these incidents to perpetuate antisemitism, Islamophobia or any form of racism, hatred or intolerance. Instead, we must come together to support one another, amplify facts over falsehoods, and demonstrate the strength of our shared values of inclusivity and mutual understanding.
