Overview
- Police say detectives seized the latest letter delivered Wednesday to the south‑west Sydney mosque and have begun forensic examination.
- The Lebanese Muslim Association reports the note showed a mosque on fire with worshippers inside, included racist slurs, and made death threats.
- This is the second incident in about 10 days, after a 70‑year‑old man was charged in late January over an allegedly threatening letter to the same mosque.
- Premier Chris Minns condemned the threats and confirmed the matter was referred to NSW Police, as mosque leaders press for concrete protection measures and a meeting.
- Officials warn Ramadan and Eid will draw very large crowds, with at least 50,000 expected for Eid, and cite a 740 percent rise in Islamophobia reports since December, according to the Islamophobia Register Australia.
