An arsonist set fire to a mosque in the Swedish town of Eskilstuna on Thursday, injuring five people, police said, according to the BBC.
About 15 to 20 people were attending midday prayers in the mosque, located in the ground floor of a residential building, when the fire broke out.
Local media footage showed smoke and flames billowing from the windows before firefighters put the blaze out.
The incident comes amid a fierce debate in Sweden over immigration policies.
The far right wants to cut the number of asylum seekers allowed into Sweden by 90%, while mainstream parties are intent on preserving the country's liberal policy.
"A witness saw somebody throw an object through the window of the building, which serves as a mosque, after which a violent fire began," police spokesman Lars Franzell told reporters, according to the BBC.

It came soon after a police station was attacked and 10 police cars were torched.

Friday night a gang of about 10 people attacked the local police station in Farsta in southern Stockholm area.
The gang, which consisted of “younger men”, poured flammable liquid over 4-5 police cars parked outside the station. They also blocked the door leading from the station to the parking lot, to prevent the cops from coming out and extinguish the fire.
A plainclothes police officer saw what was happening and managed to grab one of the perpetrators. This apparently got the rest of the gang to leave. The arrested person is in his 20s. …
Police categorize the incident as attempted sabotage alternatively attempted vandalism. Because the crime was directed against the law enforcement and is one of a series of attacks in recent years against the Swedish judicial system, the crime also meets the criteria to be characterized as a terrorism.
Arson? In a religious building? Killing many innocents? At Christmas?
Only Muslims kill like that.
That’s it. It’s a family conspiracy.
In that statement I think you have hit on the probable cause. One Muslim group finding another Muslim group unacceptable.
May be one of their suicide vests prematurely detonated?
Oh yeah, that is a real possibility.
A work accident?
“younger men”
= “yutes”!
“work place violence”?
Outlaw Islam
Expel all Muslims
Stop all aid to Muslim lands
