THE president of the Islamic Council of WA has condemned a fake mosque proposal planted in Inglewood letter boxes this morning and said it could be a political ploy.

Residents of Tenth Avenue, Inglewood, found notices for a proposed mosque and community hall at Eighth Avenue and Beaufort Street.

The flier claims the Islamic Council of WA is seeking approval for the development and includes a City of Stirling letterhead.

Islamic Council of WA president Rateb Jneid said the notice sent to residents was a fake.

“This is fake, a fraud, we will investigate it and it could be a political ploy,” he said.

A City of Stirling spokesman confirmed it was a fraud and said apartments had been proposed for the site.

In September last year, the Islamic Council of WA publically blasted Pauline Hanson’s “paranoid and islamophopic speech” made in Federal parliament.

The Senator is in Perth today, touring electorates with State One Nation candidates.
