Southland mosque plastered with anti-islamic posters

From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 23 December 2020

The Imam of the Southland Mosque has invited those who put anti-islamic posters on the Queenstown Mosque around for a coffee to teach them about Islam. Posters with anti-islamic images and messages have been plastered over the mosque which has only been open for about two weeks. Police are investigating and the message is clear from Queenstown's mayor - that there is no room for hate speech in the community. Sally Murphy reports.
