Montreal Police Say Local Mosque Has Window Smashed And Eggs Thrown At It

Darpan News Desk IANS, 03 Feb, 2017 12:51 PM
    Montreal police say a local mosque has been the target of vandalism.
     
    They say a window at the Khadijah centre was smashed and had eggs thrown at it.
     
    Fatima Ahmed, the daughter of the mosque's director, says the building was also spray-painted with graffiti a few months ago.
     
    Police spokesman Daniel Lacoursiere says the incident occurred between 7 and 8 a.m. and that an investigation is underway.
     
    The vandalism occurred on the same day as a funeral for three of the six men who were shot dead at a Quebec City mosque last Sunday night.
     
    Montreal police Chief Philippe Pichet said earlier this week the force has seen a spike in the number of reports of hate crimes since the mosque attack.
     
    The head of Montreal's anti-radicalization centre also said this week it had received 24 calls since Sunday, including 10 related to Islamophobia and four related to the extreme right.
