Australian authorities have launched an investigation after a threatening letter was delivered to the nation’s largest mosque just days before the start of Ramadan. The message, received by the Lakemba Mosque in Sydney, reportedly contained hostile language and raised concerns among community leaders about the safety of worshippers during the holy month.

The mosque, a central hub for Australia’s Muslim population, is expected to welcome thousands of visitors throughout Ramadan.

Local officials condemned the incident, calling it an unacceptable act targeting a religious community during a significant period of reflection and prayer. Authorities have encouraged anyone with information to come forward as the investigation continues.
