A silent march is planned for Sunday in France - with Jews and Muslims marching together.
French religious leaders call for Jewish-Muslim unity
Religious leaders in France have called for unity between Jewish and Muslim communities following the recent school shooting in Toulouse.
Speaking after a meeting with President Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace, Richard Prasquier, President of the Representative Council of Jewish Institutions in France, said it was "out of the question to confuse Islam, a religion amongst others and terrorist expressions which are indeed a danger for the republic."
Gilles Bernheim, the Grand Rabbi of France called for the strengthening of the "links between the Jewish and Muslim communities."
Dali Boubakeur, Rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris, echoed his Jewish peers’ sentiment, calling "terrorism in the name of religion" revolting, and said his community unreservedly condemned the attacks.

Also, and unfortunately it requires stating explicitly, the Palestinians (and indeed other Arab and Muslim groups around the world) have also unreservedly condemned the terror attack:
Meanwhile Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said extremists must stop using the Palestinian cause to justify their acts of violence.
“It is time for these criminals to stop marketing their terrorist acts in the name of Palestine and to stop pretending to stand up for the rights of Palestinian children who only ask for a decent life,” the Palestinian premier said in a statement.
