The Seville Mosque Foundation’s center was targeted with
anti-Muslim hate speech, such as ‘Killers, you’re going to pay’, and another
one that used a slur for North Africans.
The graffiti, which was discovered on Saturday morning, also
included threats to behead Muslims with machetes.
At the same time a mosque in Granada was attacked with
flares by a gang of people in a horrific racist attack.
Shocking footage of the Granada attack shows children and
families fleeing in terror as orange smoke filled the area, and around a dozen
people chant racist slogans.
Around a dozen people descended on the mosque, holding a
banner that said ‘Whoever finances this mosque, finances terrorism’ while
spitting racist epithets.
Right-wing group Hogar Social has been accused of carrying
out the attack, and were reportedly driven away by police officers.
Jalid Nieto, a spokesman for the mosque, said he had
reported the gang to the police – and called it a ‘hate crime’.
He added: ‘They are taking advantage of Thursday’s terror
attack, which pains us and has left us devastated, to try to make ideological
capital.
‘People should understand that Muslims, just like any other
person, can be victims of the injustice of the individuals behind Thursday’s
attacks.’
Nieto also accused the racists of ‘taking advantage of the
horrible incidents in Catalonia’ to further their message of hate.
None of the gang have as yet been identified.
