Islamic Society increases security measures at Frederick mosque as precaution



Leaders of the Frederick Muslim community are asking for increased police presence at the mosque on Key Parkway.

The presence of a police officer during Friday afternoon prayers, Ramadan, and other religious events is one several provisions in the Islamic Society of Frederick’s new crisis management plan.

The plan was developed after Jewish cemeteries were vandalized earlier this year and as threats to Jewish community centers and synagogues have continued nationwide, according to Dr. Syed Haque, chairman of the Islamic Society of Frederick’s newly-formed crisis management team.

No such threats or violent acts have targeted the Masjid, Frederick County’s only mosque, Haque said. He framed the plan as a preventative measure.

They should provide and pay for their own security instead of making taxpayers foot the bill.

Probably acts by the congregation designed to instill fear in the Jewish population and attract sympathy for the scumbag Muslims.. You can not trust a Muslim or the Koran. EVER. They are double crossing humanity as instructed in the Koran.
