A mosque in Germany’s Gelsenkirchen was vandalised with anti-Muslim and far-right slogans and symbols on September 6, including “F** Islam” and numerical and letter-based codes associated with white supremacist and neo-Nazi messaging.
The Tugra Mosque condemned the attack in a press release, saying it had been reported to authorities, who are investigating. The Turkish mosque was also targeted by anti-Muslim graffiti in 2020.
The attack is not an isolated incident. Germany recorded 231 anti-Muslim offences in the first half of 2026, including the targeting of nine mosques, according to government figures.
The incident comes amid other attacks targeting mosques in Europe over the weekend, including an attack on Tawfieq Mosque in Belgium’s Antwerp on September 4, where swastikas and hateful messages were found on the building and dog faeces were left outside its entrance.

US President Donald Trump shared a map on social media appearing to rename New Mexico as “New America,” crossing out “Mexico” and replacing it with “America.”
Trump offered no official explanation for the Truth Social post, which was later reshared by the White House on X. New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham quickly responded, insisting the state’s name “isn’t up for debate.”
The post follows previous efforts by Trump to alter geographical names. He signed executive orders renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America” in 2025 and Lake Ontario to “Lake America” in August 2026.
While the president has the authority to rename certain federal geographic features, US states cannot be renamed by presidential order; such changes require formal action at the state level.

Families in Gaza City gathered to bid farewell to around 100 Palestinians whose bodies and remains were recovered from beneath homes destroyed in Israeli attacks as a part of the second phase of Gaza’s Civil Defense recovery project, more than two years after their deaths.
Near the Imam al Shafii Mosque in the Zeitoun neighbourhood, the remains were laid out ahead of a mass funeral on September 6. Families lit candles, placed flowers and gathered around photographs and names of children, women, men and elderly victims.
For more than two years, many relatives had been unable to reach or recover their loved ones from beneath the rubble.
The second phase of recovery project covers 147 destroyed homes, with an estimated 1,072 bodies beneath the rubble. Crews recovered around 333 bodies and sets of remains from 54 sites during the first phase.
Since October 2023, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed at least 73,651 Palestinians and injured 174,575, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
