British police arrested a man today on suspicion of stabbing a muezzin at the Central London Mosque at the age of seventy years, and the police stated that the case of the injured is not serious after he was stabbed several times.
Pictures posted on Twitter showed police officers restricting the movement of a man in the mosque’s prayer square near Regents Park before taking him away.
"It is extremely disturbing to see that a white man entered the Regents Park Mosque at prayer time, and the muezzin was stabbed in his neck," said Moqdad Versey, a spokesman for the British Islamic Council, adding that he was awaiting an independent investigation into the attack.
The attack on the central London mosque’s muezzin comes one day after two shooting incidents in the city of western Germany. The attack killed 11 people, including 5 Turkish immigrants, and the authorities talked about the possibility that xenophobia was the motive behind the attack, adding that the port belongs to the far right .
