Sydney — A threatening letter received by the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, Australia, has sent shockwaves through the local Muslim community, raising serious concerns over the safety and security of worshippers.
Following receipt of the threatening message, mosque administration swiftly alerted authorities and formally demanded that the government enhance security measures around the mosque and its congregation. Officials warned that such incidents pose a grave threat to religious harmony and public peace.
Local Muslim leaders have strongly condemned the incident, describing it as a deliberate act of provocation and incitement. They called on the Australian government to take the growing trend of Islamophobia seriously and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice under the full force of the law.
Lakemba Mosque is one of Sydney’s largest and most frequented places of worship, attracting thousands of worshippers every Friday for prayers. The incident has reignited debate over the protection of religious minorities in Australia and the rise of hate-motivated threats against Muslim communities.
Police have launched an investigation into the matter, though no arrests have been made so far. The Muslim community has urged calm while calling for swift and decisive action from law enforcement agencies.
