Alwaght- U.S. Muslims have held a rally to show solidarity and mourn with families of the victims of a racist attack at a black church in South Carolina.
The event, dubbed “Unity Walk for Peace”, was organized by the Central Mosque of Charleston on Sunday in honor of the six women and three men who were shot dead in the church.
On Wednesday night, a white supremacist Dylann Roof opened fire at the Emanuel African-American Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina, leaving nine African-American worshipers dead.
On Sunday, the church Charleston held its first service since the massacre.
Hundreds of people congregated at the church for a service which was led by visiting clergy because the church's pastor was also shot dead by the 21-year-old assailant.
Several hundred people also filled the street outside the church.
Worshipers at the church said the white gunman had failed in his quest to break their spirit of love and faith.
21-year-old Roof confessed to killing nine people at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston on Wednesday night.
A racist website registered under Roof's name emerged on Saturday, showing him vehemently denouncing African-Americans, appearing in photographs with guns and burning the US flag.
During Roof's bond hearing on Friday, Gosnell made a declaration that drew the ire of many people.
When he was talking about the nine victims in the church shooting, he said that the killer’s family members were victims as well. "We also have victims on the other side."
Roof’s next court appearances are scheduled for October 23 and February 5, 2016.
