Mountain Scene
By MATTHEW MCKEW
Hate-filled posters plastered on and around Queenstown’s new Islamic centre have shocked and disappointed staff from neighbouring businesses.
Mountain Scene discovered the posters dotted around the Gorge Road Retail Centre yesterday morning Queenstown police were on site making inquiries.
The posters contained images of the prophet Mohammed, in the style of French newspaper
Charlie Hebdo, and were stuck to the windows of the centre, also known as Queenstown Masjid, which opened about 10 days ago.
It’s an offence in the Muslim religion to depict the prophet.
Opposite the masjid, on the Southern Hospitality building, a poster saying ‘‘Islam is right about women’’ was displayed.
