North Carolina Muslims call for calm as students buried

– ‘All lives matter’ –

Meanwhile, relatives and friends honored Deah, Yusor and Razad Thursday at the traditional Muslim service.

Tearful crowds followed the funeral hearse to an outdoor service, where thousands gathered to kneel and pray.

“If you loved them, know that we are proud of them that they are Muslim,” said Noumann Siddiqui, Islamic Council member.

“All of us, Muslims, Christians and Jews alike put love… in our hearts. All lives matter,” he said.

The victims’ parents wept as their children were buried, the sisters together in one grave next to Deah, while prayers echoed from the crowd.

Deah and Yusor were married on December 27, and the new bride was set to attend UNC dentistry school in August.
