Officers discovered damage to two other sites and received a further report later on Thursday morning, all from places of worship within a few miles of each other and in an area with a large Muslim community.“The motive behind the attacks, which are being treated as linked, is yet to be established, but West Midlands Police and the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit are investigating,” the statement said.Birmingham is one of Britain’s largest cities and home to one of its biggest Muslim communities: More than one in five people there have declared Islam as their religion.<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/21/world/europe/uk-birmingham-mosque-attack.html" target="_blank">Source</a>[YOUTUBE]fdnHtdg4XUQ[/YOUTUBE]</blockquote>
