Vandalism at Long Island Mosque Sparks Unity | Newark News

A construction site for Long Island’s second-largest mosque was vandalized over the weekend, sparking outrage and a call for justice. Officials label it a hate crime, while leaders emphasize the attack targets unity and freedom of worship — values they say are under siege by ignorance. The 30,000-square-foot facility, complete with an NBA-sized court, is designed as a community hub, not just a place of worship, and open houses are planned to build bridges. Police are investigating, offering a reward and boosting security, as construction continues toward completion in two years. Despite the vandalism, mosque leaders vow resilience — the spirit of their community cannot be broken. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
