Vandalism at Colorado Muslim Society Mosque Before Morning Prayer

Sunday, February 26, hours before an Academy Awards ceremony whose celebration of diversity was symbolized by a best-supporting-actor Oscar win for Mahershala Ali, the first Muslim to claim victory in a major acting category, the Colorado Muslim Society was the victim of vandalism prior to morning prayer.

Specifically, a rock was thrown through a window at Masjid Abu Bakr, the main CMS mosque, located at 2017 South Parker Road.

A post on the Colorado Muslim Society Facebook page reads in part:

Sad news for our Masjid today. Masjid Abu Bakr was vandalized before fajr prayer. Someone threw a rock through one of the windows. CMS personnel is working with the proper authorities. May Allah protect us....

Fajr is one of five prayers offered daily by practicing Muslims; the others are Zohar, Asr, Magrib and Isha.
