Burning a Mosque is Terrorism, Full Stop. IF Leaders Can Swiftly Condemn A Synagogue Attack, They Must Do The Same Here.https://t.co/hvw8vj3tg5 pic.twitter.com/naqxdwmwzd– Narynder Cour (@narinderTweets) October 5, 2025
At the time of the attack, I have mosques and another believer, both in their 60s, drank tea inside the building. After hearing a strong explosion, they fled while the flame swallowed the main entrance. So far, it is not known if the attackers knew that someone was in the mosque.
“They could easily die,” said the manager for CNN, adding that “these people came with full intention to cause maximum damage.” He described the panic that overcame, “The President shook all the time, and the neighbor went out into the street crying,” he said.
No one is physically injured, but the damage is significant. The fire damaged the front of the mosque and the vehicle parked in front, which belongs to having mosques. He works as a taxi driver and his car was the only source of income. “Unfortunately, only a wreck remained from his vehicle,” the warden added.
A small mosque, opened four years ago, brings together a community of 10 to 15 believers. “Everyone is scared. If someone was willing to do this, we don’t know what next”, said the warden. He added that the mosque was used to attend the attack, in August last year, the eggs were twice in the racist insults, but “we never expected an attack at this level.”
