Hawzah News Agency-Mina Hindholm Efterskole – Denmark’s first Muslim boarding school near Fuglebjerg in southern Zealand – was Wednesday night vandalised with anti-Islam graffiti.

The walls of the school were sprayed with hate messages such as “Islam out of DK”, while several windows were painted with targets.

The school staff were all shocked and shaken and the Danish Islamic Community (DIT) has called on Danish politicians to distance themselves from Islamophobia.

Condemn racist hate crimes

“This is the most uncomfortable thing I have experienced,” Ahmet Deniz, the school principal, told.

“When a Muslim boarding school is openly harassed as grossly as in this case, politicians should distance themselves from and condemn racist hate crimes of any kind,” states DIT.

Local police are investigating the case as serious.

“We don’t know if it was just a boyish prank, but we would rather not have this developed into something extremist,” Peter Haslund, a police officer from Næstved Police, said.
