 The Hague, Netherlands (IINA) – The Netherlands Police are searching now for perpetrators after a mosque located in Roermond city of Limburg province received an anonymous threatening letter last week, chairman of an affiliate foundation has told Anadolu Agency.
Nevruz Ozcan of the Netherlands Diyanet Foundation, with Turkish origins, said Tuesday that a hand-written letter reached the Fatih Mosque located in Roermond city of Limburg province, according to media reports.
The hand written letter reached the mosque on Tuesday, Ozcan, said. Nevruz noted that mosque-goers were not affected by the threat, especially after police forces took extra security measures around the mosque for several days.
The letter has been handed over to police, who are searching for the sender, the chairman added.
Fatih Mosque is the only Turkish mosque in Roermond near the Netherlands-German border, inhabited by 2,400 Turkish nationals.
Recently, Muslims in the West have witnessed series of attacks, ranging from verbal abuses to arson attacks on mosques, such as the attacks that took place across Sweden in December last year.
Muslim groups all over the West have been making efforts to organize series of outreach programmes to explain the beauty of Islam to their non-Muslim neighbours.
