Police probe Facebook page attacking Wrexham 'super mosque'

Police are investigating a sick anti-Muslim website set up on Facebook to stir up tensions over fake claims a 'super-mosque' was being built in Wrexham.

The site "No to the super mosque in Wrexham" on the social network site wrongly claims permission has been given for a mosque at the Miners Institute in North Wales's largest town. And the website, which bears the Welsh Defence League logo, is also filled with hateful messages against Muslims, which North Wales Police are now investigating.

The web group has more than 2,800 members and this follows a march by the Welsh Defence League designed to stir up tensions in the town.
