Islamophobia in the University of Sydney’s Muslim prayer room
Police are investigating an act of Islamophobia in the University of Sydney’s Muslim prayer room in the fifth instance of vandalism in three months.
Muslim students who arrived at the room on Monday morning found wardrobes and cupboards emptied and rubbish scattered on the floor, the student newspaper Honi Soit has reported.
When police examined the room on Monday they found no signs of forced entry and nothing had been stolen, Honi Soit reported.
The prayer room has been ransacked five times since 11 December, although a Honi Soit reporter, Naaman Zhou, clarified to Guardian Australia that the latest was the only incident to been explicitly Islamophobic beyond targeting the prayer room.
