Sharing their grief, and their gratitude for the public's support, in Queenstown are Queenstown Muslim Community trustees Mohammed Nadeem (left) and Ashiv Khan. ''He is needing our prayers that he can recover very well, and quickly,'' Mr Khan said. Mr Khan, and fellow Queenstown Muslim Community trustee Mohammed Nadeem, attended the public vigil in Earnslaw Park on Monday evening. Amidst their grief there is also a glimmer of hope, as members of Queenstown's Muslim community prepare to finally secure their own place of worship. Addressing the crowd at the vigil, Mr Khan said he hoped people would criticise racism and bigotry if they saw it.
