PISCATAWAY, NJ — Members of a Piscataway mosque said an anti-Muslim incident occurred there this past Saturday, where someone drove a truck in circles through the mosque’s parking lot, showing graphic photos from the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks.
This took place Saturday afternoon at the Muslim Center of Middlesex County on Hoes Lane in Piscataway, according to Dina Sayedahmed, a spokeswoman for the New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ).
The truck circled the mosque parking lot at a time when more than 200 people were standing outside, having just concluded a religious service inside, she said.
Piscataway Police were notified about the incident, she said. A spokesman for Piscataway Township confirmed a police report was filed.
Piscataway Mayor Brian Wahler said Wednesday he is “deeply disturbed about reports of religious-based harassment against the Muslim Center of Middlesex County.” He said he was told the truck appeared to be a commercial vehicle and it had “disturbing” imagery.
