Australia: Petrol-bomb attack on religious group |
2012-03-20 |
A petrol-bomb attack on a community centre has prompted fears among Melbourne's Alevi population they could be targeted with more violence on religious grounds. Glass bottles containing petrol and set alight were thrown at the front and rear doors of the Alevi Community Council of Australia centre in North Coburg overnight. No one was inside the centre at the time of the incident, but a centre spokeswoman said the building's rear door was badly burnt. Surmeli Aydogan, the council's community liaison officer, said the centre's users were also concerned to find notes pinned to the fence threatening Alevis on religious grounds unless they "testified" that Allah was the only god to be worshipped. Ms Aydogan said the centre had previously received threatening phone calls, but had dismissed them as pranks. However, she said the attack with petrol bombs had left the council's members shaken. Alevi is a branch of the Sufi order of Shia Islam. |
