Naib Hussain, Secretary of Mosque and Muslim Community Centre in Aston, told The Sun Online: “With Friday prayers we’re fearful - we have up to 400 people at our mosque an up to 100 children.
"If there was to be a copycat New Zealand style attack it could be even worse. We need protection from our police officers.”
Mr Hussain said police and local councillors were hoping to hold a meeting tonight to reassure local residents and worshippers.
“Our community is very worried and shocked and in the aftermath of the bloodshed in New Zealand I’m telling them ‘Beware, be careful," he said.
There has been an upsurge in extreme right violence since Christchurch. Thankfully only windows were smashed on this occasion.
