Dunfermline Central Mosque

  • Submitted by: Mark Ruskell, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Green Party.
  • Date lodged: Wednesday, 02 May 2018
  • Motion reference: S5M-12040

That the Parliament notes with grave concern that an Islamophobic incident has taken place at Dunfermline Central Mosque; believes that the entrance to the Woodmill Road Mosque was covered in bacon in an act described as a “deliberate symbol of hatred”; understands that this attack occurred just hours after members of the congregation took part in a race against racism event in the town; believes that the incident has left worshippers shocked, upset and fearful; welcomes the show of support by the Church of Scotland Presbytery of Dunfermline; condemns this act unequivocally, and stands in solidarity with those of all faiths and none in Scotland in the fight against all forms of racism and bigotry.
