The Islamic Center of Riverside is a mosque in Riverside, California; it was built in 1979.[1]
The mosque is a member of the Islamic Shura Council of Southern California network of mosques.[1] The site, close to the University of California Riverside campus, was chosen to enable the mosque to serve university students as well as the wider community.[1] Along with 23 other "Islamic Centers" in California, since the September 11 attacks the mosque has held an annual open house offering Californians an opportunity to learn more about Islam.[1][2]
Mustafa H. Kuko is the Center's director. [3] In June 2014, Kuko told The Press-Enterprise that the Center has worked hard to prevent young people from connecting with terrorist propaganda. He accused the press of having, "overlooked: what we have been doing in our communities for many years... We have been talking to our communities. We have been talking to our families.”[4]
Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the shooters in the December 2015 terrorist attack at San Bernardino, attended prayers at the Islamic Center of Riverside twice a day.[3][5]
