Intruders broke into the mosque, which is still under construction, early this morning and used paint taken from builders' cabins on the site.
Amid fears of a backlash against the Muslim community following the Woolwich terror attack on Drummer Lee Rigby, racist graffiti was daubed over walls and at least six of the mosque's windows.
Offensive words and symbols with the initials EDL, NF, KKK and racist language were daubed across the new mosque in blue paint.
Due to an increase in "incidents happening nationally," an increased police presence has been implemented in the area.
Police have informed mosque representatives and are guarding the site, in Jinnah Road, Redditch, West Midlands. » | Charlotte Meredith | Wednesday, June 26, 2013
