5 Arrested After Shots Fired at New York Mosque

HeadlineSep 01, 2010

Five teenagers have been arrested on charges of disrupting a religious service at a mosque in upstate New York. Police say the group shouted obscenities, set off a car alarm, and fired a shotgun over the course of two nights of harassment at the World Sufi Foundation mosque in Carlton. Mosque member Bilal Huzair witnessed the incident.

Bilal Huzair: “We heard two cars that were screaming and driving back and forth, yelling obscenities, you know, against the religion itself, calling us Muslim, you know, blank-blanks. If it was a hate crime, so be it. They need to be charged as a hate crime.”
