Perpetrators attack mosques in Germany

Attackers ripped of the pages of holy Quran in Bremen, smashed the windows of a mosque in Hesse

Two mosques in Germany were separately attacked by unidentified perpetrators in the states of Hesse and Bremen over the weekend.

A central mosque in the German city of Kassel belonging to the Turkish-Islamic Union for Religious Affairs in Hesse and the Rahman Mosque in Bremen were the targets of the malicious attacks.

Many pages of the holy Quran were torn, scattered on the floor and some of them were even thrown in the toilet at the Rahman Mosque.


Pictures from the scene show that vandals smashed the windows with stones at the Central Kassel Mosque.

Seyfettin Eryörük, the head of the Kassel Central Mosque foundation, said that the attack was carried out early in the morning before prayers had started.

Prosecutors launched an investigation into the incidents, according to reports.


There were no reports of any casualties.

The PYD/PKK terror group and far-left organizations claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks last year which targeted Turkish mosques, associations and shops in various cities, including Berlin, Frankfurt, Hamburg, and Aachen.
