  • London Islamophobe Terrorist Was Born In Singapore

    London Islamophobe Terrorist Was Born In Singapore

    A 47-year-old man arrested for allegedly ploughing a van into a group of Muslims in London on Monday (June 19) was born in Singapore, according to British media reports.

    Citing public records, the Guardian and Daily Mirror reported that Darren Osborne was born in Singapore in 1969. They gave no further details on his Singapore connection, or when he moved back to Britain.

    Osborne is believed to have grown up in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, where he attended Broadoak Mathematics and Computing College.

    At the time of the attack, he was living in the Welsh city of Cardiff with his partner and four children aged between five and 16.

    Nine people were hospitalised after Monday’s attack. Witnesses said they saw Osborne shouting, “I want to kill all Muslims”, before slamming his van into a crowd near a mosque in the Finsbury Park area of London.

    One elderly man, who had collapsed moments before the van appeared, was pronounced dead at the scene, although police have not yet confirmed whether he died as a result of the attack.

    Locals held onto Osborne until he was detained by police and later arrested on charges of “the commission, preparation or instigation of terrorism including murder and attempted murder”.

    His neighbours in Cardiff described him as “aggressive” and “strange”, The Guardian reported. They said it was unclear if he had a job, with some saying that he was unemployed while others said he bought and sold cars.

    Neighbour Pauline Tibbs, 48, told the Mail Online that the incident had been a “terrible shock”.

    “The police have been back and forth here all day. It’s a terrible shock,” she said. “I’ve seen him walking in the street but never spoken to him. He seemed normal enough. He has lived here a couple of years and kept himself to himself.”

    Osborne’s next-door neighbor, Mr Khadijeh Sherizi, told The Telegraph: “I saw him on the news and I thought ‘Oh my God that is my neighbour.”

    “He has been so normal. He was in his kitchen yesterday afternoon singing with his kids.

    “He was the dad of the family. He has kids. He lives next door. He seemed polite and pleasant to me. I just can’t believDe it.”

    Osborne’s family members revealed a different side of him.

    Mrs Osborne, 72, told ITV News that her son was a “complex” person.

    Attack On London Mosque: Terrorist Would’ve Have Died From Beating If Not For Imam’s Intervention

    As angry bystanders held down the alleged driver of a van that ploughed into a group of Muslims near a mosque in London just after midnight yesterday, an imam helped calm the situation.

    Imam Mohammed Mahmoud shouted: “Don’t touch him! No one touch him!”, reported The Telegraph.

    “(The van driver) tried to run away but we brought him down. He would’ve died because so many people were punching him, but the imam came out and said ‘No more punching, let’s keep him down until the police come’,” one witness told the Independent.

    A statement on the website of the Muslim Welfare House said: “I would like to particularly thank our imam, Mohammed Mahmoud, whose bravery and courage helped calm the immediate situation after the incident and prevented further injuries and potential loss of life.”

    China Siapkan Masjid Ke-3 Terbesar Di Dunia

    Dunia bakal menyaksikan satu lagi seni bina hebat apabila negara dari benua Afrika iaitu Algeria kini dalam proses membina sebuah masjid yang diiktiraf sebagai ketiga terbesar di dunia apabila siap kelak.

    Masjid yang bakal siap sepenuhnya pada tahun ini adalah hasil kerjasama antara syarikat kejuruteraan pembinaan dari China dan tempatan iaitu Algeria sendiri dengan pelbagai seni reka bentuk yang hebat.

    Dikenali Djamaa El Djazair atau Bouteflika, masjid yang berharga lebih dari satu bilion euro (RM4 bilion) itu bakal menempatkan dewan solat seluas 20,000 meter persegi yang mampu memuatkan hingga 120,000 jemaah selain menara setinggi 264 meter yang dianggap tertinggi setakat ini.

    CNN melaporkan negara yang kaya dengan hasil minyak itu telah memberikan penghargaan kepada sebuah firma kejuruteraan dari China kerana menghasilkan seni bina untuk masjid tersebut.

    “Kami berterima kasih kepada rakan dari China yang menghasilkan karya seni bina ini. Ia akan ditulis dalam sejarah sebagai karya monumental seni bina agama.

    “Ia adalah masjid ketiga terbesar di dunia, kedudukannya hanya selepas dua masjid terbesar iaitu Masjidil Haram di Makkah dan Masjid Nabawi di Madinah.

    “Ia adalah sebuah bangunan yang megah, yang melambangkan persahabatan antara Algeria dan China,” kata Menteri Perumahan Algeria, Abdelmadjid Tebboune.

    Beliau berkata demikian selepas majlis menempatkan menara masjid pada Sabtu lalu yang dihadiri China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC) dan Duta Besar China di Algeria, Yang Guangyu.

    Abdelmadjid turut menyampaikan pingat kepada jurutera dari China dan Algeria yang memberikan sumbangan cemerlang kepada pembinaan masjid tersebut.

    “Taraf pembinaan projek ini adalah sangat tinggi. Ia direka dan dibina mengikut standard yang akan bertahan dalam masa selama seribu tahun.

    “Selepas lima tahun berusaha, kami telah berjaya melepasi tahap pertama kejayaan untuk mencapai kejayaan pembinaan masjid ini,” kata Ketua Pengarah CSCEC di Algeria, Zhou Sheng.

    Kompleks yang mula dibina pada 2012 itu terletak antara pusat tarikan pelancong dan daerah golongan bekerja yang sebelum ini menjadi kawasan pelampau Islam.

    Masjid Yusof Ishak Dibuka Rasmi Hari Ini Oleh Isteri Allahyarham Presiden Yusof Ishak

    Masjid Yusof Ishak akan menempatkan pejabat pertama Yayasan Rahmatan Lil Alamin (RLAF).

    Ia bagi menghidupkan semangat dan sifat Presiden pertama Singapura Encik Yusof Ishak yang dikenali sebagai berjiwa rakyat.

    Masjid tersebut dibuka rasmi esok (14 Apr) oleh isteri Allahyarham, Puan Noor Aishah.

    AJAK PENGUNJUNG LAYARI SUASANA RUMAH MELAYU

    Menjelang acara bersejarah itu, BERITAMediacorp diberi kebenaran secara eksklusif untuk merakamkan ruang dalamannya yang hampir siap sepenuhnya dan membawakan laporan berikut.

    Tersergam indah di tengah-tengah tanah lapang dan berkonsepkan nusantara, Masjid Yusof Ishak terletak di Woodlands Avenue 17.

    Masjid ke-71 itu mengajak para pengunjung seakan melayari suasana di sebuah rumah orang Melayu, digabungkan dengan suntikan ciri moden.

    “Keindahan seni bina masjid Yusof Ishak ini terletak pada keindahan seni bina bangunan rumah Melayu yang terdapat di nusantara, di mana kita dapati rumah-rumah Melayu ini, penuh dengan hiasan-hiasan yang berunsurkan keislaman dan kemelayuan. Di sekitar masjid ini sahaja, terdapat beberapa bentuk hiasan yang berbeza,” Pengerusi Masjid Yusof Ishak, Muhd Ayub Johari memberitahu BERITAMediacorp.

    KONSEP TAMPILKAN KEPERIBADIAN PRESIDEN PERTAMA S’PURA

    Menurut Encik Ayub lagi, konsep nusantara dipilih bagi menampilkan keperibadian Presiden pertama Singapura Encik Yusof Ishak yang ketika menjadi Presiden amat mengambil berat terhadap masyarakat Melayu Singapura.

    Bagi menghidupkan lagi semangat dan perwatakan beliau, mimbar masjid diukir dengan corak orkid, bunga yang menjadi kegemarannya juga isteri Puan Noor Aishah.

    Terdapat juga sebuah taman orkid khas di belakang masjid bagi menyerlahkan lagi keperibadian pasangan tersebut di masjid ini.

    Jika dilihat sekeliling masjid itu, banyak sekali hijau-hijauan. Yang menariknya, isteri Presiden Yusof Ishak, Puan Noor Aishah sudahpun menyumbangkan sekurang-kurangnya lima jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan dari taman di rumahnya. Ia sudahpun ditanam di sekeliling kawasan masjid itu.

    Setinggi lima tingkat, masjid itu mampu menampung 4,500 jemaah pada satu-satu masa.

    Ini sekaligus dapat mengurangkan kesesakan sewaktu solat Jumaat di masjid An-Nur, yakni satu lagi masjid di Woodlands.

    Selain kemudahan-kemudahan asas yang menerapkan pelbagai prasarana untuk setiap golongan masyarakat, termasuk golongan kurang upaya, pejabat RLAF di masjid itu juga bagi memperingati semangat dan sifat Encik Yusof Ishak yang sewaktu hayatnya, komited kepada pembangunan kaum belia dan membantu mereka yang sakit dan kurang bernasib baik.
