"Masjid Ibrahim is proud to be part of the diverse community in Cessnock. We have our beautiful Mosque, as well as a hotel sheltering asylum seekers, within yards of each other.

"For the safety and security of our community and neighbours, and those visiting the area, we request everyone to be cautious and vigilant. If you feel threatened or see anything suspicious, call the police immediately.

"We advise our sisters to please take precautions, and for the next few days, only go out if absolutely necessary and try to avoid travelling alone."
