Resources for Mosque & Institutional Security
In light of the tragic attack at the Boston Marathon, Muslim Advocates has organized key resources on mosque and institutional security from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The materials provide special guidance to mosque, Islamic school, and Muslim community leaders on anticipating, preparing for, and reacting to any potential violence or backlash that may arise in the coming days.
Please feel free to distribute these documents freely to mosques, schools, and other institutions.
