A prominent Brooklyn Muslim group hosted other religious leaders in the borough to condemn the terror attacks in Paris and remember its victims in a vigil.

They say that killing in the name of Islam does not represent the faith.

The Muslim American Society in Bensonhurst opened the prayer vigil with a reading from the Quran condemning violence.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris that killed 129 people. 

Due to the group's extreme violence, hundreds of thousands of refugees, many of them Muslims, are fleeing war-torn Syria.

Governors in 33 states have publicly rejected the proposal to shelter refugees in the United States out of fears that one of the perpetrators of the Paris attack exploited the refugee crisis to get into France.

Some Jewish leaders have opposed the governors, recalling refugees during World War II who fled extreme Nazi violence.
