“We’re going to burn your mosque down,” a voice said angrily in a voicemail left on the mosque’s phone.
“We’re coming to kill you,” another said.
This was just one of eight terrifying voicemails left at the Islamic Center of Passaic County (ICPC) in New Jersey less than 24 hours after a driver plowed a Home Depot rental truck into a bike path in lower Manhattan, killing eight people and injuring 12 others. Sayfullo Saipov, a 29-year-old native of Uzbekistan, has been charged in the killings.
One caller left three voicemails, saying he was angry and wanted revenge, even though this Muslim community had no relation to or contact with Saipov. He just happened to share the same faith as the congregants at ICPC.

Hate begets more hate and in the end that’s all there is. Hate crimes may they be against Jews or Muslims or blacks or Hispanics are still cruel and shake the soul to the core. We need to stand united against them.
The law enforcement agencies should take a serious action against these voicemails. These hateful actions and words are mentally torturing all Muslim community.
May God protect all. Ameen.
