A mosque in Brussels received a letter from a previously-unknown group calling itself the Christian State this week threatening to kill Muslims and attack their businesses in the country, according to French and Belgian media reports.
The letter arrived on Monday to a mosque in the Molenbeek district of the city, the area linked to a number of radical Islamists suspected of involvement in the deadly Paris attacks of November 13.
According to French daily Le Parisien, the anonymous letter said that no mosque and none of your businesses will be safe and threatened that brothers [Muslims] will be slaughtered like pigs and crucified as our Lord converts their souls.
It also warned that the group will avenge our brothers who fell in the various [Paris] attacks.
The Attadamoun Mosque in Molenbeek, which received the letter, is in the hometown of the three Abdeslam brothers linked to the attacks that left 130 people dead.
Salah Abdeslam, 26, remains at large; Brahim, 31, killed himself when he detonated a suicide vest at a Paris restaurant and Belgian police released Mohamed after he was detained over a possible connection to his brothers actions.
The Christian State group named on the letter is not known and it remains unclear who and how many people are either in the group or were responsible for the letter. Other Belgian media reports indicated that two other Brussels mosques had also received a version of the document.

Christianity, bad as it is, is only second best to the violence of Islam these days.
And no, the stupid invasion of Iraq wasn't religiously motivated
