🌟 Community Safety Concerns in Cardiff 🌟
The Cardiff community is on edge following the news of an alleged terror plot targeting Madina Mosque and a Jewish cemetery. Two teenagers have been charged after reportedly researching attack sites and attempting to source firearms. This news left worshippers at Madina Mosque deeply unsettled, with concerns growing over the lack of heightened security.
Cllr Imran Latif, representing Penylan ward, voices the sentiments of many: “We all deserve to feel safe at our places of worship.” Cardiff’s mosques, especially on busy Friday prayers, are feeling the strain with members expressing feelings of threat and insecurity. “People just want reassurance,” the councillor says. “We want to know our kids are safe.”
The community is comparing the slow security response with the rapid police patrols seen following a previous incident at a synagogue. There’s a call for equal protection to be extended to all places of worship in Cardiff.
Cllr Latif urges authorities to act swiftly to restore a sense of safety for all. It’s not just about one mosque—it’s about creating a secure environment for every community member. Let’s stand together and support each other in these challenging times. 💪✨
