A mosque whose worshippers were mown down by a far-right terrorist, Darren Osbourne, has been targeted with vile letters containing white powder and threatening new atrocities against Muslims.

ToufikKacimi, chief executive of the Muslim Welfare House, revealed the extent of the hate campaign a year after the Finsbury Park attack left one man dead and 12 victims injured.

“There are thousands of other Darren Osbornes and it’s just a matter of time,” said one threat sent to the mosque and community centre.

“What Darren Osborne did was just the beginning, we will kill you all,” read another.

Osborne, a 48-year-old extremist from Wales, ploughed a hired van into a crowd of Muslims outside the Muslim Welfare House following Ramadan prayers in the early hours of 19 June 2017.

Mr.Kacimi said the fresh threats, which have all been reported to police, left some people too scared to leave their homes or let their children walk to school, adding: “You just have to conduct your life as normally as possible but it was threatening.
