Wayland Town Crier 12/11/16: Hundreds support Islamic Center of Boston. Police Chief Robert Irving has a message for the person or people who wrote a hateful letter to the Islamic Center of Boston and anyone else who vandalizes or discriminates against religious institutions.

“You make us all stronger,” Irving told hundreds of people gathered Sunday for a rally outside the Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland. “You make us more united. You make us better friends and better neighbors.”

Unity was a central message as people of diverse faiths and backgrounds came together through song, poetry and speeches to support their Muslim neighbors.
