Around 200 people responded to the call from three leaders of Muslim, Jewish, and Catholic places of worship in the Gratte-ciel district of Villeurbanne. The initiative was intended to be "civic, apolitical, and peaceful, undertaken by believers." Along the way, there were many encounters. Side by side, Djillali, a Muslim, and Philippe, a Jew, are talking. They walk in step, sharing stories of their origins. Just a few minutes ago, they were strangers. They came, one from a neighboring district, the other from further away than the metropolis, as members of the Errahma mosque and the Keren or synagogue. Djillali grew up in a family that always lived alongside people of other religions and cultures. "We are the enemy of what we don't know. We must meet. These are communities of peace. There is a problem in the Middle East, but this is France." Philippe attends all the gatherings, "We cannot let this hatred escalate." They clearly heeded the invitation from Nabil Bouslama, head of the Errahma mosque, to mingle and talk with strangers. They were not alone. Many encounters took place within the procession. Eighteen - year-old Nassim came with his mother, 53-year-old Sabah. "A woman came to see me, and we talked about religion." Sabah wanted "to share the three cultures, especially right now." The Gratte-ciel district was recently affected. Early Monday morning, June 2nd, a man broke into the Errahma mosque and burned a Quran . In the outcry this act provoked, the priest of the neighboring parish, Father Olivier de Gersigny of the Church of Sainte Madeleine, expressed his support for Nabil Bouslama. A Dominican monk came to present him with a Quran.
