Residents 'love-bomb' mosque in support after attacks in Sweden

Residents have responded to Islamaphobic attacks by 'love-bombing' a mosque in support after attacks in Sweden.

People gathered to paste cut-out hearts and messages of support onto the entrance of the building, ahead of Friday’s prayers of the Uppsala mosque.

The previous day police said that a Molotov cocktail was thrown at the religious building but did not catch fire.

The Indepedent reported that hundreds gathered in the countries three largest cities, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo, to condemn the attacks across the country.
