“We are still following up any information we receive,” said Division 3 Det.-Sgt. Tom Anderson.

That includes reviewing surveillance video from nearby businesses on Stone Church Road East.

Police are also encouraging anyone with information about the attack to contact detective Tim Bower at 905-540-5088 or contact them anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 905-522-8477.

No one was injured after someone tossed a rock and then a domestic brand beer bottle containing burning liquid through the principal’s office window at the school during the overnight hours of Jan. 3.

The fire burned itself out before it could spread, leaving minimal damage.

Hamilton Police Chief Glenn De Caire says the service will do all it can to catch the perpetrators.

Speaking to a packed mosque last Friday, the chief told worshippers the attack on the Islamic school was an attack on the entire community.

Mayor Fred Eisenberger, Mountain MPP Sophia Aggelonitis and Hamilton Centre MP David Christopherson also offered strong words of support for the 20,000 member Muslim community in Hamilton.

Yasser Haddara, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at McMaster University and an active member of the local Islamic community, said they are grateful the police chief and elected officials came to the mosque. “We think they reacted in a very timely manner and in a very positive manner,” Haddara said. “From what we have seen, it’s not just words, it is action.”

Haddara said the Muslim community is committed to making Hamilton a better place for everyone.

“This is something that flows from our faith and from our commitment to being citizens in Canada,” he said “We have to make a contribution. We have to help make our city a better place to live and make our country a better place to live.”

Prior to hearing from police and elected officials, Muhammad Khattad, the Mullah leading Friday prayers at the mosque, gave a stirring 40- minute address to some 200-300 attendees, where he emphasized that Islam is a religion of peace and a way of life.

“The attack (on the school) will never deter us,” he said. “It will make us strong.”
