A mosque in the Manchester area, Eccles, was attacked by vandals during the night who threw bricks through the mosque’s windows and removed fencing around the mosque.    According to a report in the Manchester Evening News, five bricks were thrown through windows of the Eccles and Salford Mosque in Eccles, United Kingdom.  Video of the attack was also captured on CCTV video cameras and is posted on YouTube.

The Manchester Evening News quotes Ali Anees, chairman of the Eccles and Salford Mosque, who told reporters that:  “We have had problems regularly. In March, someone threw paint over the outside of the mosque and wrote graffiti. Then at about 2am last Saturday two men got into the grounds. One is on film throwing bricks which had been taken from a wall of a neighbouring building. They attacked the building twice in about 20 minutes.  Three sections of the windows were smashed and bricks were found inside the office of the mosque. We had another incident in March when eggs were thrown at people leaving the mosque by people driving past. After a lot of damage was caused in 2006, we had people come forward to help us and in the last two years we have spent £425,000 on new buildings.  We have up to 500 members and they are very angry about the attacks. We want the culprits caught.”
