Extremists Target Mosque

posted on: Feb 17, 2015

Leaders of a Perth mosque say they have had to consider installing electric fences around the property to help protect against escalating attacks from anti- Muslim extremists.

In the past three months alone, the Masjid Ibrahim in Southern River has been the target of an attempted firebombing, damage and offensive graffiti and pigs’ heads have even been dumped on a driveway.

The most recent attack occurred early on Saturday when vandals painted the letters KKK – representing the Ku Klux Klan – on several of the mosque’s walls and doors.

Mosque spokesman Talha Patel said it was the 12th time that an incident had been reported to police in just over 12 months, yet no one had been arrested or charged.

“The behaviour of these individuals, it is just un-Australian in my view and it is only getting worse for us,” he said.

“We’ve even had people posting on Facebook about blowing this place up . . . but when we report it to the police, nothing seems to happen.”
