Muslim cultural centre in Trois-Rivières, Que., vandalized overnight
An Islamic culture centre in Trois-Rivières, Quebec, was vandalized overnight, prompting a police investigation.
Mohamed Toubal, president of the Centre Culturel Islamique de la Mauricie, reported that rocks and shattered glass were found by worshippers during morning prayers.
Security camera footage captured a person with a covered face throwing objects at the centre around 1:45 a.m., according to Toubal.
The cultural centre stated the Muslim community will respond to the vandalism with calls for solidarity and unity, not fear or division.
