The protest, titled "Alliance of Socialism Anti-Islamophobia Event", was attended by Muslims from all sects of the Islamic community, including speakers from both Sunni and Shia Islam.[14]

It is no small matter that tens of thousands of people are receiving the message of Allah's religion [through this channel]. May Allah accept Huzoor Shaykh ul Aalam's both religious and social work."
