Islamic centers of worship in New Jersey were on alert Wednesday after a mosque in Jersey City received a threatening letter and voice mail.
The al-Tawheed mosque got a threatening letter referencing Donald Trump, that read in part: “We do not want you here. We do not like you. You are evil.”
“We have a big concern about that. I mean because we never see this kind of letter. This kind of hate,” Islamic Center manager, Kamel Haddouch said.
“And if you guys come over here in mass numbers that you want to do, every American that has the Second Amendment right is going to take their (expletive) gun out and blow you away. I just want you to be prepared for that,” the letter read.
Haddouch has asked worshipers to be careful. The city has also stepped up patrols at all mosques.
At an interfaith meeting with the state’s Homeland Security Department, Islamic centers across the state were told to be vigilant.
“Call the police. Report what you see, any suspicious activity around mosques,” Ahmed Shadeed, Islamic Center of Jersey City, President said.
“Our message today, no matter if the threat is against a mosque, a synagogue, a temple, we are in this together,” Law Enforcement Chaplain, Rabbi Abe Friedman said.

There are no references to Donald Trump in the quotes in this article. If that was a main point, why was it left out from the quoted text? Was his name explicitly mentioned?
Muslims doing what Muslims do best LIE. they fabricate a letter so they can be the victim when they are the aggressors
Yep, the letter may be true, but under the US law it is illegal to say such things…
