A defaced copy of the Quran with six bullet holes and chained to the railings of the stairs of the Stockholm Mosque in Sweden was found at its premises.
Calling it a blatant Islamophobic attack, the chairman of the Stockholm Mosque, Mahmud al Halef,i condemned it and said it was “explicitly targetted to the Muslim
community.”
“A copy of the Quran was chained to the railing next to the stairs leading to the mosque, and it had six bullet holes. There were also messages written in Arabic and Swedish on the Quran saying, ‘Thanks for the visit, but it’s time to go home,’” Halefi said, pointing out an alarming rise of such incidents.
