More than 200 people filled the pews at St. John\u2019s Episcopal Church Wednesday night for a rally expressing support for Muslims.<\/p>\n

The event featured Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith leaders calling for a stand against rising intolerance.<\/p>\n

There was a strong sense of support among the crowd. It strongly applauded a beautifully sung passage from the Koran by 10-year-old Mariam Beshtawii from the Al Heydaya Islamic Center; and a similarly harmonious reading by Rabbi Shaul Marshall Praver from the Newtown Interfaith Clergy.<\/p>\n

The event was sponsored by The Naugatuck Valley Project and the United Muslim Mosque, Inc.<\/p>\n
