Governor Visits Islamic Center after Burglary
Last Wednesday, the center was burglarized and its doors and windows were broken. Gov. Dayton called the act vicious and cowardly.
"This is an assault against your right to choose your place of worship. It’s an assault against the right of every Minnesotan to practice their faith as they chose,” Dayton said.
Officials with the
USC tell CAIR that a white male apparently in his 50s was caught on
surveillance video breaking doors and windows in the mosque and stealing
equipment and files. The damage estimate is more than $5,000.
Wednesday’s
vandalism is reportedly the second such incident in the past month. A man who
appears to resemble the most recent suspect was allegedly caught on
surveillance video trying unsuccessfully to break into the mosque.
