TEHRAN (IQNA) – The Gultepe mosque in Rotterdam-Noord, the Netherlands, received a threatening letter this week.

“You cannot trust anyone anymore, so get out while you can, because death is in your mosque”, a part of the text reads, NL Times reported.

“Go away if you want to live. Everyone hates you. You cannot trust anyone.”

The chairperson of the mosque has confirmed that the mosque received the letter, but did not want to comment. The threat was reported to the police. The police have taken the letter and are investigating.

Last week a Muslim man and his family from the Hague also received a letter containing death threats. The letter writer threatened to decapitate the man and blow up his house if he does not leave within a week.
Acts of Islamophobia have been growing in European countries recently, especially following the attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo earlier this month.
