Hundreds of people rallied in Joplin, Missouri, on Saturday in a show of support for a local mosque burnt to the ground earlier this month. The Islamic Center of Joplin was set ablaze on August 6, just over a month after an initial arson attack. Firefighters were unable to contain the fire in time, leaving the mosque completely destroyed. The arsonist was never apprehended. The fire occurred the day after a white supremacist shot dead six worshipers at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin. Organizers of Saturday’s rally say they wanted to show appreciation for the mosque in part for serving as a relief center during the May 2011 tornado in Joplin, which killed 161 people.
