Additionally, Imam stressed that it is our Islamic teaching that we should be loyal and patriotic to our country and that it is the responsibility of all leaders- religious and secular - to espouse peace by being kind to one another, do good, be just in their dealings and have tolerance for each other's faiths and beliefs.
Imam's message was well received.
Other presenters include Mike Ingram of the Upland Interfaith Council, Julius West, Chaplain of Upland Police Department, Brian Johnson , Chief, Upland Police Department and City Council Member Gino Filippi.
Prayers were also read by other Faith based leaders from various other religious groups.
