Advocacy Group Hails Arrest of Suspect in Michigan Mosque Threats
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) on Tuesday welcomed the arrest of a suspect who allegedly made threats on Sunday against a mosque in Madison Heights, Michigan.
Law enforcement arrested a suspect today who reportedly left two profanity laced audio messages on Sunday to the American Islamic Community Center in Madison Heights in which the caller stated “I am going to make you blood… I am going to kill you. I am going to kill your people” and “We’re going to come and we’re going to come strong. We’re going to get rid of you one way or another.”
“We welcome the swift action taken by law enforcement to investigate these alleged death threats against congregants of the Madison Heights mosque,” said CAIR-MI Executive Director Dawud Walid. “Nothing justifies making death threats against any faith community in our state or nation.”
He again urged Muslim community leaders to utilize CAIR’s “Best Practices for Mosque and Community Safety” booklet to help keep religious facilities safe. The advice in the booklet is applicable to all houses of worship.
