Local elected officials, residents,
religious leaders and worshippers
of Beit El-Maqdis Islamic
Center, 6202 Sixth Avenue, stand united
after a man broke several windows
at the Sunset Park mosque.
According to police, on Saturday,
November 11 at around 5:20 p.m., surveillance
videos caught the suspect,
described as an Asian male wearing
a black hooded coat, blue jeans and
white sneakers, who broke one of
the mosque’s outdoor cameras with
a hammer, entered the building and
broke around four windows.
Cops believe that the suspect is
also responsible for destroying property
at another mosque. On Saturday,
November 11 at around 5:38 p.m.,
surveillance shows the
suspect outside United
American Muslim
Association of New
York, 5911 Eighth
Avenue, where he
again used a hammer
to break the building’s
doorbell, knob and
mailbox. He then fled
eastbound on 59th
Street.
On Monday, November
13, during a press
conference at the mosque,
Borough President Eric
Adams and others discussed the incident
following a prayer.
“No hammer will shatter our spirit,”
he said. “The glass you shatter is only a
material but the human spirit has the
ability to withstand any signs of hate
and come together as one body of all
faiths saying we stand together with
this mosque, and with the Muslim,
Christian, Jewish and all people of this
great borough.”
He also encouraged all places
of worship to increase security
measures.
“I want to
encourage all
our houses
of worship to
do what this
mosque has
done around
its security
system,” Adams
said. “They have an excellent security
system where all cameras are
pointed towards the street as well
as inside the mosque itself. That is so
important. We will be sending letters
to the number of houses of worship in
the a borough and ask them to ramp
up their security measures such as
cameras and individuals inside their
house of worship.”
Niam Jawad, who served as the
spokesperson for the mosque, praised
the work of Deputy Inspector Emmanuel
Gonzalez and the 72nd Precinct
and discussed what the next step
would be. “It’s an unfortunate incident
but we will stand up against this and
we will let the detectives continue
this investigation until they find this
individual.”
“From what we saw, this guy came intentionally
to do damage,” Jawad said.
“We were shocked and highly upset.
This rarely happens to us. Maybe 12
years ago we had an incident where
they stole the donation boxes.”
“It's unfortunate this is the first press
conference I'm attending as councilman
elect, but these are the times
we are living in,” said Councilmember
elect for the 43rd Council District
Justin Brannan. “Hate doesn’t have a
home here. By definition, Brooklyn is
a home to everyone from everywhere.
Whether it was a mosque or church
or synagogue, doesn’t matter. We are
united against this hate. We have to
crack down on people that might give
people a license to hate and come down
together in unity to say not here, not
now, not ever.”
“It’s sad in this country continues
to go after those who are trying to
serve the community,” added Assemblymember
Felix Ortiz. “This is
completely unacceptable and whoever
committed this will be brought to
justice. “
“This is one family and we are going
to stand together,” said Mohammad
Razvi, executive director of The
Council of People's Organization,
one of the largest Muslim and South
Asian organizations serving the
borough. “We are not going to allow
one individual to divide us or cause
any other mischief. My message to
the man who did this is you can run
but you can’t hide. The NYPD is going
to get you.”
