HALCRO JOHNSTON CONDEMNS ELGIN MOSQUE ATTACK
Commenting on news that offensive graffiti has been daubed on Elgin Mosque, Jamie Halcro Johnston, Scottish Conservative MSP for the Highlands and Islands, said: “I utterly condemn this completely unacceptable and cowardly attack on Elgin Mosque.
“It is nothing short of an attempt to intimidate members of Moray’s Muslim community and, while this incident should not be allowed to damage the relationship between the mosque and the local community in Elgin, it is entirely understandable that this will be a worrying incident for those who use the mosque.
“I understand that local police will be increasing patrols in the area and that is only right. It is also vitally important that anyone with any information on who may have been behind this attack comes forward to the Police to ensure those responsible are caught and face justice”.
