A leading figure in Sutton’s Muslim community has described the “shock” felt by worshippers after police thwarted a suspected terror attack targeting their mosque. He added that the incident has led to the community sharing their own experiences of harassment and feeling vulnerable as threats against Muslims rise locally.
“This has come out of the blue,” said Moin Uddin, of Sutton Central Masjid, speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service (LDRS) after a 14-year-old boy was arrested last week in connection with the alleged plot to attack the place of worship on August 28.
