'Islam is peace': Pakistani crowd recreates Christchurch's Al-Noor Mosque

A crowd in Pakistan has recreated the shape of Al-Noor Mosque to show solidarity with the victims of the Christchurch terror attack.

Fifty people were killed when a gunman opened fire inside the Al-Noor (Deans Ave) Mosque and Linwood Mosque on Friday March 15. Most of the deaths took place at Al Noor.

More than 20,000 people took part in the event in Pakistan, which was organised by think tank the Muslim Institute.

Video of the event shows the crowd standing in the shape of the mosque, along with another group spelling the words "Islam is peace".

The crowd chanted "Islam is peace" throughout the video as well.

"Through this peaceful expression of solidarity, people have given a strong message to the whole world that Islam is religion of peace," Muslim Institute spokesperson Sahibzada Sultan Ahmad Ali said.

"Such peaceful and huge expressions has indeed proves the narrative of Muslims maintaining their peaceful society and cooperation among civilizations despite the rise of extreme tendencies in different parts of the world."
