Bilal Juma, the president of Brazil's Islamic Association, said people from all religions participated in Friday’s demonstration.

"We are Muslims, Catholics and Jews who came together to say no to those who insult prophets. We came here to defend all prophets and religions,”? Juma said.

Hassan Gharib, the organizer of the protest march, said Muslims and Christians should treat each other as brothers.
