For years, experts in application of national law and security have warned that religious institutions in all areas are being attacked for acts of violence.
“We can all agree that our houses of worship should be safe places for people to exercise their freedom of religion, but at this time we are seeing more and more that they are objectives of violence, and not only attacks any of any faith,” said Michael Masters, who supervises security operations for the main network of Jewish schools and synagogues and Jewish synagogues. “Attacks against religious institutions are attacks against our democracy in general.”
Masters said there has been an increase in specific attacks throughout the faith based on faith in recent years.
“This is something we have been working for to prepare in the Jewish community for many years. In the current threat environment, criminals are often not distinguishing. There is the Jewish community, the SIJ community, the Annunciation Church and now the Sud Church in Michigan,” he said.
