Durban - When worshippers at the Masjid Aziez gathered for prayer on Thursday evening, they found anti-Islamic words on the walls near the entrance.
The 120-year-old mosque is situated in Port Elizabeth and is one of the oldest mosques in the city.
Moulana Salmaan Fredericks, a member of the mosque committee, said the slogans were messages of hate that denigrated Islam and Allah. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset. In the afternoon, before breaking our fast, a group of mostly men attend prayer at the mosque. When the group of worshippers arrived at the mosque on Thursday afternoon, they found the hateful words scribbled at the entrance of the mosque. They were shattered to read such hateful things about Islam.
