Brisbane mosques open doors to ease community fears

Two Brisbane mosques will open their doors to the community after one was attacked with anti-Muslim pamphlets.

Logan and Holland Park mosques will hold open sessions this Friday, from 3-4pm, for people to come and ask questions about the Islamic faith and community.

There will also be a full open day at Logan mosque on October 25.

The decision was made in response to an incident overnight where up to 40 pamphlets filled with abusive, anti-Muslim language, were left outside Logan mosque.

The pamphlets read: “Terrorists born in Australia are not Australians. They’re Muslims.”

A spokesman for the mosque invited people to “come and see”.

Muslim leaders have been appalled at the recent anti-Islam attacks and worry that they could be a precursor to violence.

Logan mosque can be found at 260 Third Ave, Marsden, while Holland Park mosque is at 309 Nursery Rd, Holland Park.
