Continued insults to Muslim holy sites in Spain.
As anti-Islamism continued in European countries, a mosque in the city of Morica (Spain) was attacked.
A mosque in Morica, Spain, was attacked on Tuesday night, local time, according to the Anatolia news agency. The mosque in Cabezo de Torres, which opened in 2018, was spray-painted with the words “No to Islam” and “Spanish sovereignty is non-negotiable.” In another misconduct, the assailants beheaded a pig and left a knife outside the mosque.
The incident is the latest wave of Islamophobic attacks in the southern region of Moresca, one of the most densely populated areas in Spain.
On June 13, Younes Bilal, a Moroccan immigrant, was shot dead by a Spanish veteran while sitting in a cafe with friends. Witnesses to the incident said the Spanish veteran shot Bilal with racist insults.
Meanwhile, a mosque in the Dutch city of Amsterdam, which was attacked by anti-Islamists a few months ago, was attacked again by unknown individuals on Sunday night, local time. Media sources quoted a civil rights organization called the National Vision Federation as saying that the Amsterdam City Mosque was attacked overnight.
The Hagia Sophia mosque in the Dutch capital Amsterdam was attacked and vandalized by unknown individuals on Sunday night. The perpetrators of the attack and disrespect to this mosque in the city of Amsterdam broke the windows of the mosque with bottles of alcohol.
According to the National Vision Federation, this is the second time in less than a year that the mosque has been targeted by anti-Islamic militants.
In December 2020, a masked man smashed mosque windows shortly after the evening prayers and used the darkness of night to escape.
