From ferrying victims to hospitals, to spontaneously queuing up for blood donation, the Muslim community in the city was one with its Hindu friends after Tuesday’s stampede at the Chamunda Devi temple.
At least 186 devotees died in the stampede tragedy at Mehrangarh Fort on the first day of the Navratra festival.
[...]Muslim youth were seen attending to patients prior to the arrival of family members and queuing up for blood donation. Close to 3.5 lakh of Jodhpur’s 13 lakh population are Muslim.

What Arif Mohammed said is indeed true. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) catered to non-Muslims, and there is a story of a woman converting to Islam when he went to see her the day she was ill and couldn't dump trash on the Prophet (pbuh).
May God give the same courage to Muslims everywhere -- to help those in need irrespective of their religion and race.
