The atmosphere was heavy when the first Friday prayers were held inside Angered's mosque since the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated.
"This is one of the worst situations I have seen when it comes to Gaza, this is to show that we stand together," said Chairman Abdullah Al Masri.
Critical of the media
Several people that SVT spoke to at the scene say that they feel that the news reporting about the conflict is unnuanced and say that they think that Sweden and the rest of the world are not doing enough for those affected in Gaza.
"The whole world, it feels like they're dead emotionally," says Abdullah Hassan, one of the visitors to Friday prayers.
Important to support each other
Abdullah Al Masri, chairman of the Angered mosque, is afraid that the conflict will lead to increased polarization in Sweden and thinks it is extra important that people support each other.
"Of course it takes a toll on you, of course you feel bad. But here at the mosque, we Muslims stand hand for hand," says Loay Mahjoub, a visitor to Friday prayers.
Wants to counteract polarization
At the same time, Abdullah Al Masri believes that it is important that the conflict and division in Israel and Gaza must not affect the community in Sweden. He also thinks that mosques have a responsibility to counteract polarization.
