Angers Mosque Vandalized Again in Suspected Islamophobic Attack

The Abu Bakr Essedik mosque in Angers, currently under construction, was the target of an attack last weekend. A second degradation after that of September 2021. The officials denounce an "Islamophobic" persecution.
The Association of Muslims of Angers (AMA), manager of the mosque, expressed its desolation in the face of the "hateful and Islamophobic persecution" of which it claims to be a victim. It said it was "deeply shocked" by an act targeting "a place of prayer and meditation."
Reacting to this latest act of vandalism, the president of the Union of Mosques of France (UMF), Mohammed Moussaoui, condemned "with the utmost vigor the act of vandalism of which the Angers mosque has once again been the victim."
"Many windows were broken by projectiles," he reported, expressing his full support for the faithful and the mosque authorities in the face of this hateful and Islamophobic persecution."
