Officers were called to the Masjid Qamarul Islam mosque on Fosbrooke Road, Small Heath, at around 10pm on Wednesday and the Al-Hijrah mosque on Hob Moor Road 20 minutes later. West Midlands Police said the motive for the attacks is unclear at this stage.
Both mosques were hit by catapult ball bearings which smashed windows during evening prayers. The force said firearms officers were deployed as a precaution and the bearings recovered are thought to be from a heavy duty catapult.
Police are continuing to patrol the area to reassure worshippers and local residents. The incidents came just days after 29-year-old Salih Khater, from the city, was arrested when a silver Ford Fiesta crashed into a security barrier in Westminster after it hit cyclists and pedestrians. Nassar Mahmood, a trustee of Birmingham Central Mosque, said Muslims are facing unprecedented levels of Islamophobia.
Speaking after the incident in Westminster on Tuesday, he said attacks have particularly affected women because they are quite visible due to the dress they wear. Urging the media not to speculate on any motive for the Westminster incident, Mr Mahmood said: We would ask you to be cautious of apportioning blame to the Muslim community. We are shocked and saddened by this just the same as everybody else.
We taught our 8 year old grandson how to use a slingshot and a bow and arrow. He loved it. He’s 11 now and still target shoots with them in our backyard.
As part of the extreme weapons law inflicted on the Australians in 1996, slingshots were defined as prohibited weapons.

It’s too funny as an American reading this and seeing the word “catapult”, making us do a double-take. I’m sure this is talking about slingshots. I forgot what Brits call catapults.
But....wouldn’t it be nice if they did deportations by catapults...across the English channel. The France employed the same technique to try to catapult across the Mediterranean into Algiers.
Better yet, a reality show on who can make the best deportation catapults, with frequent testing needed.
Gotta keep the child sex slavers protected.
Thats a trebuchet, not a catapult!
If these units ever shift towards Muslim only officers the Brits should start kissing their asses goodbye.
The only solution is a Catapult Buyback Program.
They’re in the middle of a Muslim conquest even now.

This is getting medieval.
Seems to me they have no problem with it. I.e. Tommy Robinson.
At least the concealed ones.

The motive is clearly spelled out in their “holy” book that calls for them to subjugate, convert or kill everyone else on earth.
False flag operation.
There are u-tubes out that show how to make recurve bows out of PVC pipes.
A terrorist just happened to be sitting helplessly in the drivers seat at the time.
Could’ve hidden them in the bonnet.
