Barcelona (AFP) - Prayer time is approaching but Raja Miah, an imam at a tiny mosque in the heart of Barcelona does not expect a big turnout.
Since the twin attacks in Barcelona and the nearby seaside resort of Cambrils claimed by the Islamic State group, the Muslim community in central Barcelona's neighbourhood of Raval fears an anti-Islam backlash.
"People are very scared," said Miah, 23, as he sat in a small room at the mosque in Raval as a small group of children in an adjoining room studied the Koran.
Raval -- whose name derives from the Arabic word for neighbourhood -- is located just west of Barcelona's bustling Las Ramblas boulevard where a van ploughed into pedestrians on Thursday, killing 13 and injuring dozens of others. Just hours later, another person died in a similar attack in the holiday town of Cambrils, where police shot five suspects dead.
"There is a lot of fear, people don't go out. Very few people come to pray. Normally we are about 40 people, last night we weren't even 15 and this morning 10," said Miah, who moved to Barcelona nine years ago from Bangladesh.

Well put, sir.
L
Backlash should take out “Yahoo” as well.
While is it simple for some it is confusing for many in Eurabia to understand the fact they are at war. The goal of Islam is world domination and the Muslims are brutally attacking “infidels” at an alarming rate. Any military strategist could tell you, one does not let the enemy pour across the battle lines and not suffer the consequences yet the likes of Merkel and leaders of the EEU are bent on doing bringing hoards of Muslims to attack them. Folks there are no innocent Muslims. They all champion the concept of a world Islamic state.
The Muslims invaded and conquered all of Spain.
I’m still waiting on Yahoo and the MSM to report on the alt-right folks who now fear backlash. Hmmmm....
Thx much.
Islam never pays a price. Useful idiots of the West fall all over themselves saying this is not Islam. But of course it is, and the more of them in your country, the more terrorism there will be.
Let’s see if the bodies of the terrorists are given Muslim funerals.
